The Devil And Pastor Jack
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Jack Glass fought the Devil, he fought him all his days
Everywhere that Jack Glass looked he saw the Devil's face
From the early hours of morning to the setting of the sun
Jack Glass fought the Devil - that was all he'd ever done
You wouldn't see Jack dancing, you wouldn't hear Jack sing,
You wouldn't really find Jack doing much of anything
From the early hours of morning to the setting of the sun
Jack Glass fought the Devil - no time for having fun
I don't know if Jack believed in God, it's kind of hard to tell
He never mentioned heaven much, he seemed obsessed by Hell
For Jack had just one purpose, one target in his sight
He fought against the Devil, it was the meaning of his life
From the early hours of morning to the setting of the sun
Jack Glass fought the Devil, now his fighting days are done
Jack Glass he got cancer, but not like anyone else
He said, "This is a personal attack by Lucifer himself
"It's the Devil's desperation, shows I've got him on the run"
So Jack Glass fought the Devil,
Jack Glass fought the Devil,
Jack Glass fought the Devil - looks like the Devil won
I hope there is a Devil with all my heart and mind
For if there isn't, Jack's whole life was a pointless waste of time
From the early hours of morning to the setting of the sun
Jack Glass fought the Devil -
Jack Glass fought the Devil -
From the early hours of morning to the setting of the sun
Jack Glass fought the Devil - looks like the Devil won
