Born with blue eyes filled with pain
|
In March of 1922
|
Mystic fire in your veins
|
Mama's apron strangling you
|
Mama's apron strangling you
|
Mama's apron strangling...
|
|
Young Jack Kerouac running up and down the football track
|
Are you an angel now?
|
Strong Jack Kerouac, once you're gone you can't come back
|
Are you in pain still?
|
|
Walking New York City streets
|
High on benzedrine and wine
|
On the road and feeling beat yeah
|
Chasing kicks and running blind
|
Chasing kicks and running blind
|
Chasing kicks and running...
|
|
Wild Jack Kerouac talking in a beat up Cadillac
|
Are you an angel now?
|
Drunk Jack Kerouac, once you're gone you can't come back no
|
Are you in pain still?
|
|
On a red sun Sunday afternoon
|
I bet you felt the wind blow through your hair
|
I bet you knelt down in a summer field
|
And said a prayer
|
Oh I bet you said a prayer...
|
|
In '69 you found the prize
|
Bloated Buddha, belly up
|
Ecstasy your suicide
|
Sorrow filled your loving cup
|
Sorrow filled your loving cup
|
Sorrow filled your loving...
|
|
Sad Jack Kerouac, sitting down beside the Merrimac
|
Are you an angel now?
|
Drunk Jack Kerouac, once you're gone you can't come back now
|
Are you in pain still?
|
Fat Jack Kerouac, stumbling along the railroad track
|
Are you an angel now?
|
Dead Jack Kerouac, once you're gone you can't come back now
|
Are you an angel?
|
Are you an angel?
