In the tradition of the inner city griots we are...

we take though a journey through a story

to a place and a time

in a small town

but as you listen you're to pay no mind to the small town

and the time and the place

a place where the moon and the sun does as it pleases

a place where everybody knows everybody else's business

a place that basically could be anywhere

listen...



check it out...

When the sun took a day off and the moon stood still

The only light that was in sight was the one just past that ol' onion field

if you look from where I'm standing you'll see that old scarecrow

they say if you look too low he might jump off that window

but between you and me I think that's a bunch of 'hey, you know'

some people believe he's responsible for the death of Old Man Dan

they found him without his thinking cap with straw in his hand

and the strangest thing about it's that they never found his head

they never found his head

they never found his head

god dammit they never found Old Man Dan's head...



[Self Jupiter]

and they'll never find it

'cause I took it

nah, didn't go like that at all

see I just hid it and his eye was crooked and I wanted his eyeball

and things got out of hand

and Old Man Dan had to die

because of that eye

I can tell you them scarecrow stories a lie

what I did here

when the moon was full and the sun's about to rise

people walking by thinking about that head at the crack of dawn they cry
