The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow

(album: The Dewey Decibel System - 2019)

[GPS:] In point.666 miles, turn left at Sleepy Holly Drive, Tarrytown, New York
[Mega Ran:] Where are we?
[MC Lars:] The GPS says this is the venue, but, it doesn't look like a venue, does it?
[Mega Ran:] I don't get it
[MC Lars:] I'll go try to find the promoter
[Mega Ran:] Where are we, man?
[MC Lars:] I think it's the venue, but it's a freaking graveyard! What the heck!

[MC Lars:]
It was a cold dark night in Sleepy Hollow
When we rolled up for sound check in my mom's Volvo
I said Mega Ran, are you sure this is the place?
With the tombstones, cobwebs, and speakers on the graves?

[Mega Ran:]
This is it, I say that with no hesitation
The skulls and stuff are simply decorations!
The contract says Headless Horseman Productions
Flag down the promoter let's have a discussion

[MC Lars:]
We met the promoter, pumpkin for a head
We said "We hope it's live 'cause the crowd looks dead"
He showed us the green room back behind the church
He said, "sound check quick, 'cause you guys are on first"

[Mega Ran:]
Now I'm done some checks in some real strange surroundings
But when skeletons are asking how it's sounding
It got me kinda shook, virtually insane
The headlining DJ was Ichabod crane

[Both:]
It was, Sleepy Hollow! Halloween eve!
Candy and treats and tricks up our sleeves!
Ghosts and zombies, they waited in line
But I think the promoter done lost his mind

It was, Sleepy Hollow! Halloween eve!
Candy and treats and tricks up our sleeves!
Ghosts and zombies, they waited in line
But I think the promoter done lost his mind

[MC Lars:]
DJ Ichabod Crane was backstage pacing
Skiny as a rail there was no mistaking
That something was awry, face was white as snow
We said it's nice to meet you, we're the opening show

[Mega Ran:]
In a creepy green room lots of posters on the wall
And strangely Mr. Crane was headlining them all
This isn't doing much to assuage my fears
He's been playing this place for the last hundred years

[MC Lars:]
We said, "How's the presale? It can't be that bad
'Cause we dropped $50 bucks on the Facebook ad"
He said "it's not the typical audience you know
With ghosts and zombies in first three rows"

[Mega Ran:]
So they're a rowdy bunch cool nothing I haven't seen
Then Ichabod tells me there's a sweet guarantee
But the contract has one huge Surprise
We play this show for the rest of our lives

[Both:]
It was, Sleepy Hollow! Halloween eve!
Candy and treats and tricks up our sleeves!
Ghosts and zombies, they waited in line
But I think the promoter done lost his mind
