Daly City Train

He was an artist and a writer
 and a poet and a friend
 In a man's life he will take a fall
 but how low he goes it just depends
 He's shooting dope in the men's room
 at the station daly city train
 Have you ever seen an angel?
 Well I know I have.
 See, they'll stay here for a while, then they'll fly away
 Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
 When he rolled the dice he never thought twice
 never thought twice about being him
 Some grown up and some grow old
 But what about the kid who never learned the rules?
 Spent all these years on this earth
 when you look back it's just a flicker of time
 Jackyl was one of the one's that perished
 Yeah, he was one of the ones that was already saved
 Through all the evil and wreckage, yeah
 he maintained a sense of himself, yeah
 Some men are in prison even though they walk the streets at night
 Other men who got the lockdown are free as a bird in flight
 How 'bout the hour in the system that has ended
 In a one-way line out measures could not stand it.
