Steve Earle
Creepy Jackalope Eye
It's an elaborate tale so convincingly real
Things can seem so amazing till you get up close
And see they're no big deal
Like the stars in the sky and 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
Staring you down
Creepy jackalope eye

Many things in this life ain't what they appear
Yeah I look like a hare, but if you stop and you stare
I'm more like a deer

I got a jackalope face
I'm a jackalope guy
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 about Adam and Eve?
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

In a jackalope space
On a jackalope high
Staring you down
Creepy jackalope
Staring you down
Creepy jackalope
Staring you down
Creepy jackalope eye
Freaky jackalope eye
Creepy jackalope eye
Creepy jackalope eye
