Hawkwind - Jack Of Shadows Lyrics
Jack of Shadows, nocturnal outlawDaemon of darkness, brother to the nightJack of Shadows, what's he hanging out for?King of the dimensions, the other side of lightAnd when he passesHe casts shades of mystery blackFlowing like molassesIt's only Jack of Shadows on his way backTo the kindom of thievesBefore the skies crackJack of Shadows, cloak of constellationsDraped around his body, blanking out his faceJack of Shadows, don't believe in God, hesteals from the future, fades without a traceAnd when the flames flareFlickering forms of velvet darkHe plays his games thereIt's only Jack of Shadows, he's lit up by a sparkTo run into the umbra , as fast as a sharkJack of Shadows, ultravoilet eyesightGiving him the vision that cats-eye infraredJack of Shadows, watch him as he flies rightThrough all of the umbras, quicker than the deadAnd when he passesHe casts shades of mystery blackFlowing like molassesIt's only Jack of Shadows on his way backTo the kindom of thievesBefore the skies crackJack of Shadows, Jack of ShadowsJack of Shadows, Jack of ShadowsJack of Shadows, Jack of Shadows.......____________________________________________________________________
