Jackal Lyrics

I've been a jackal in the night

I've been a fox on a desert plain

I've been a vulture in a drought

I've been a whale in the ocean spray

I've been so many things

I've been so many things

I've been so many things

I've been so many things

I've been a butcher, a baker, a candle stick maker

A liar, a cheater, a loser and a keeper

A giver, a taker, a mover, a shaker

A winner and a sinner and broken pants pinner yeah

Oooh ooh ooh

But I'll never be your lover cause you treat me like your brother

Oooh ooh ooh

And I'll never be a preacher cause I'm a born teacher

Oooh ooh ooh

I've been a can of worms

I've been an ash tray overturned

I've been a needle in a stack

I've seen the truth from where there ain't no turning back

I've been so many things

I've been so many things

I've been so many things

I've been so many things

I've been a butcher, a baker, a candle stick maker

A liar, a cheater, a loser and a keeper

A giver, a taker, a mover, a shaker

A winner and a sinner and broken pants pinner yeah

Oooh ooh ooh

I'll never be your lover cause you treat me like your brother

Oooh ooh ooh

And I'll never be a preacher cause I'm a born teacher

Oooh ooh ooh

Never up before noon cause I'm barking at the moon

Oooh ooh ooh

I'm still a jackal in the night

I am the jackal in the night

You might ask

What is a jackal in the night

I'll tell you baby

I am your jackal in the night
