Look a little closer
In the corner of your eye
He's everywhere at once
Don't even ask me why
He lurks there in the shadows
Down in the alleyway
He'll always come and find you he's
Tall, Tall Jake
He's always watching you
He gets into your head
At night when you're asleep
He watches by your bed
And then he disappears
He's gone when you're awake
You'll never get a glimpse of
Tall, Tall Jake
You can fly to a foreign country
Take a boat or take a train
He'll be right there waiting
And with you he'll remain
He can be anywhere in the world
That's what they all say
You can never run from
Tall, Tall Jake
Yes, he'll keep on watching
Until the day you die
Maybe he'll still be there
In your new home in the sky
Watching for eternity
You should know you can't escape
You'll never know the aims of
Tall, Tall Jake
Look a little closer
In the corner of your eye
He's everywhere at once
Don't even ask me why
He lurks there in the shadows
Down in the alleyway
He'll always come and find you he's
Tall, Tall Jake
