Shel Silverstein - Man Who Got No Sign lyrics

rate me

Ko-we-ha Gemini Jim taw Scorpio Salo

Taw sejno-nej-o-to-kono o-ha-na-shi-te-saw

There was Gemini Jim and Scorpio Sal they was livin' by the Golden Gate

Freezin' their nose and wearin' leather clothes and dealin' every way but straight

They had a Leo dog and a Capricorn cat and everything was goin' fine

Until into their life on a moonless night come the man who got no sign

He roared right in like some evil wind and he rolled himself a righteous smoke

As the thunder scrashed and the lightenin' flashed he took a toke and a spoke

Said he was born in an astrological warp when the stars refused to shine

On the cusp of Nowhere and Nevermore he's the man that got no sign

Then he told a story of an endless search to find his missin' part

And Scorpio Sal she smiles at him tries to do his chart

But the Pisces Ben who was Jim's best friend aaid man you must be blind

You better grab your knife and take the life of the man who'd got no sign

And so it happened and his blood run soaked the ground

The arrest was made by Sheriff Slade and Aquarius thru and thru

But the jailer was a Sagittarius so he beat Jim black and blue

And then they dragged him up to the courthouse stairs they said Jim how do you plea

He said man the moon's in Virgo so the blame don't fall on me

Well the jury all was the Libras so you know they was more than fair

But the lawyer was an Aries and an Aries just don't care

The judge he was a Cancer and Cancers have no friends

But the hungman was a Taurus and that's where the circle ends
