lyrics

I'd heard about the jackyl before I'd seen his yellow eyes
I met him on the railroad track, he stretched out for miles back
he asked to ease my mind
from what I can remember in my red wine drunken haze
we started walking hand-in-arm, and here's a lesson that I learned:
these were the grandest of my days

never trust a man with a silver tongue
never stop the good you've got until the body's done
carve more than your name into that tree
bounces off the hollow, where the fellow beating heart should be

we never left the comfort of that cheap, sassy motel
quite the darling gentleman, oh I wish I know'd what I didn't know then
how fast the heart can swell
secrets shared and lives compared in a matter of short time
I woke to no letter wrote, no final word to be spoke
I surely wasn't his but he was mine

never trust a man with a silver tongue
never stop the good you've got until the body's done
carve more than your name into that tree
bounces off the hollow, where the fellow beating heart should be

well girl, don't fear the jackyl with his distant, yellow eyes
he's a beast I'm sure who loves, though I have seen no evidence of
such conquest in his size

"Rochester's Gin & Bonnets play a fervent blend of folk-rock that rests at nothing to both inspire and engage. At times deeply political; at others sheer exuberance. " -Tim Avery
