When The Sun Took A Day Off And The Moon Stood Still lyrics

[spoken]

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...



[Aceyalone]

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
