Daly City Train

He was an artist and a writer
A poet and a friend
In no man's life he will take a fall
But how low he goes, it just depends
I sure know in the men's room
At the station that he sits in the train
Have you ever seen an angel? Well, I know I have
They stay there for a while and they fly away

Jack he had a beer in his hand last time I've seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know he never thought twice
Never thought twice about beating
Jack he had a beer in his hand last time I've seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know he never thought twice
Never thought twice about beating

Some grow up and some grow old
But what about a kid who never learned the rules?
Spent all his years on this earth
When you look back, just a flicker of time
Jack, he was one of the ones that perished
Yeah, he was one of the ones that was already saved
Through all this evil and wreckage, yeah
He maintained a sense of himself, yeah

Jack he had a beer in his hand last time I've seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know he never thought twice
Never thought twice about beating
Jack he had a beer in his hand last time I've seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know he never thought twice
Never thought twice about beating

Some men are in prison
Others walk the streets at night
Other men are going underground
Free as a bird in flight
Hour by the hour
In this system dead end
In a one way line
Our measures could not extend it
Oh!

Jack he had a beer in his hand last time I've seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know he never thought twice
Never thought twice about beating
Jack he had a beer in his hand last time I've seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know he never thought twice
Never thought twice about beating
