Lyrics

Jack Devise lived in old downtown
He lived alone, scared us kids when he was around
Today a lonesome cry from down the street
Curdled our blood and stopped people on their feet
There's a story here that's begging to be told
A secret past starting to unfold
All I know he's got ice blue eyes
One look into them you feel the fire and freeze like ice
He's got far away eyes
He's got far away eyes
When you look into them, they'll freeze you like a stone
He's got far away eyes
Long ago Jack, had a family farm
After years on the road, it was nice to settle down
He loved his family, wife and 4 kids
Never did he feel so whole, and love from within
But when the taxman came, demanding his cut
Jack had never given, any money up
When a fight ensued the taxman, burned down the farm
Killing all Jack's family, leaving him all alone
He's got far away eyes
He's got far away eyes
When you look into them, they'll freeze you like a stone
He's got far away eyes
Jack Devise lived in old downtown
With his skeletons never to be found
