In The Corn

Way back in the corn

'Tween the night and the morn'

Something died, something born in the corn

I am a simple man

But I know everything can be explained

In black and white Euclidean lines

Don't you ever tell me that's gonna change

Way back in the corn

'Tween the night and the morn'

Something died, something born in the corn

The night of that big ol storm

Took some city folks in from the rain

Mama cooked while they talked about a book

And said a friend of theirs was coming back again

Way back in the corn

'Tween the night and the morn'

Something died, something born in the corn

They say there's a book that explains

How these shadows could turn into gates

I ain't ever see a book like that

But I seen how the cat run away

Way back in the corn

'Tween the night and the morn'

Something died, something born in the corn

There's a big ol' light

Glowing green with desire

That everyone can see from miles away

The weak of heart stagger into my backyard

Drawn in like moths to a flame

Don't ask me why I killed ma & paw

You'd never believe what I would say

All them folks in them black hooded robes

Telling me I gotta clean my plate

Way back in the corn

'Tween the night and the morn'

Something died, something born in the corn
