Creepy Jackalope Eye - Steve Earle

An elaborate tale

So convincingly real

Things can seem so amazing

'Til you get up close

And see they’re no big deal

Like the stars in the sky

Or the one on the stage

Just a big ball of gas

And a regular guy

Fresh out of minimum wage

In a jackalope space

On a jackalope high

I’m staring you down

Creepy jackalope eye

Many things in this life

Are not what they appear

Yeah I look like a hare

But if you stop and you stare

I’m related to a deer

I got a jackalope face

I’m a jackalope guy

And I’m staring you down

Creepy jackalope eye

Is it so hard to imagine

Is it so hard to believe

Something so outrageous

Something so far fetched

Well how 'bout Adam and Eve?

I know you gotta have faith

I know the need to hope

But the truth is always in place

It’s right in front of my face

The mighty jackalope

(Yeah)

In a jackalope space

On a jackalope high

I’m staring you down

Creepy jackalope

And I’m staring down

Creepy jackalope

And I’m staring you down

Creepy jackalope eye

Freaky jackalope eye

Creepy jackalope eye

Creepy jackalope eye
