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
