Jack of Shadows

Jack of Shadows, nocturnal outlaw Daemon of darkness, brother to the night Jack of Shadows, what's he hanging out for? King of the dimensions, the other side of light And when he passes He casts shades of mystery black Flowing like molasses It's only Jack of Shadows on his way back To the kindom of thieves Before the skies crack Jack of Shadows, cloak of constellations Draped around his body, blanking out his face Jack of Shadows, don't believe in God, he Steals from the future, fades without a trace And when the flames flare Flickering forms of velvet dark He plays his games there It's only Jack of Shadows, he's lit up by a spark To run into the umbra , as fast as a shark Jack of Shadows, ultravoilet eyesight Giving him the vision that cats-eye infrared Jack of Shadows, watch him as he flies right Through all of the umbras, quicker than the dead And when he passes He casts shades of mystery black Flowing like molasses It's only Jack of Shadows on his way back To the kindom of thieves Before the skies crack Jack of Shadows, Jack of Shadows Jack of Shadows, Jack of Shadows Jack of Shadows, Jack of Shadows....... --- Jack of Shadows - Hawkwind
