Day of the Jackalope Lyrics
Well, my senses are sharpened
I'm half in the bag
I got a Cheshire smile and
A five cent rag.
Day of the jackalope
Abandon all ye faithful
Abandon all ye hope
Abandon all ye faithful
It's the day of the jackalope
Well, I heard about your problems
With your old man
Well, he's a non-issue
As fast as I can
Day of the jackalope
Abandon all ye people
Abandon all ye hope
Abandon all ye people
It's the day of the jackalope
Well, the leaves blow in circles
In my footsteps
Like the mouth of a river
I have no regrets
Day of the jackalope
Abandon all ye people
Abandon all ye hope
Abandon all ye people
It's the day of the jackalope
I'm half in the bag
I got a Cheshire smile and
A five cent rag.
Abandon all ye hope
Abandon all ye faithful
It's the day of the jackalope
With your old man
Well, he's a non-issue
As fast as I can
Abandon all ye hope
Abandon all ye people
It's the day of the jackalope
In my footsteps
Like the mouth of a river
I have no regrets
Abandon all ye hope
Abandon all ye people
It's the day of the jackalope

The speaker exhibits some megalomania as a result being drunk and/or high, and identifies with a creature from American folklore who is spoken of in tall tales as being extremely dangerous to hunters. He intends to commit a murder, perhaps while the victim is out hunting, so heinous and inexplicable that it could be attributed to a creature of legend, and the date will go down in local mythology.
I'm usually pretty good at figuring this sort of thing out, but this one's got me totally lost. Sounds to me like it's from the perspective of some kind of supernatural entity, though.
