Jackals
Jackals hide behind handsome faces
Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde remind me, remind me
In a bedroom of a brick and stucco house
A girl in seersucker pants reached for a book
To pass the day away
Not yet knowing the proper way to read, the girl
Took the tales as fact and cried all afternoon
After dinner and after her daily bath
Clean skinned and damp haired
She lay down to bed as the light went out
Under an Amish quilt and inside her flannel pajamas
The girl wrestled with troubled thoughts
Troubled sleep, troubled dreams
The elevator opens on a white frost bitten world
I step out and the doors slide closed leaving me alone
With the only one who could hurt me
Jackals hide behind handsome faces
Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde remind me, remind me
Old Giapetto sold all his winter clothes to buy books
For his wooden son who lied, lied through his nose

And when the circus wagon came rolling through the town
The boy jumped aboard and left, not even a note
In desperation over this disappearance, the old man
With his arthritic hands tore down his house plank by plank
And carried each one by one, down to the harbor
Trading his shoes for some nails and a hammer to build
To build himself a boat
Jackals hide behind handsome faces
Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde remind me, remind me
1982 Mercedes blue and the rumbling sputter
Of a diesel engine, and the goose flesh returns
Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame we can't see ourselves?
Inside this moving sedan, the windshield's too busy to reflect
But the outside looks lovely and oh so tempting.
The light on the smokestacks and water towers beckons to me
So hello, my new found friend disaster
Come sit down at our round table, let us ask your advice
Should we bring on the accident?
