lyrics

Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow
Living in the places where the shadows go
Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow
Living in the places where the shadows go

Yeah, I’m a real night-crawler come out in the day
Watching up and down the road for my next meal
Roadkill will do just fine
Or a mouse that the cat couldn’t find

Cause I’m a real tough cookie with a story on my back
I gotta certain something and a quip for every quill
Hold still, and you just might
Catch me on my next flight

Won’t you come and join me for a dance, my dear?
And learn a trick or two along the way
Never be afraid to let your voice be heard
We’ll dance your fear of flying right away
(What goes up must come down, but getting up there’s half the fun)

Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow
Living in the places where the shadows go

In a world where anything can be thrown away
I got my pick of the litter
Pick it out, pick it up, take it away
Sweet talk and a squawk in every work I say
Oh brother, won’t you come out and play

Murder’s not a dirty word where I’m from
I hold space for shadows, spinning yarns in mid air
Here kitty kitty with a few lives to spare
Doesn’t mean you wanna take me on for that mouse right there…
(Fuzzball never knew what hit him…)

Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow
Living in the places where the shadows go

So in the early mornin’ when the fog’s rollin’ in
Keep an eye on the treetops, cause if I’m sittin’ in
You’ll know that it’s just another night on the town
For a winged scrounger who sure gets around

Won’t you come and join me for a dance, my dear?
And learn a trick or two along the way
Never be afraid to let your voice be heard
We’ll dance your fear of flying right away
(Come on up and see me sometime and stay for a squawk…)

Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow
Living in the places where the shadows go
Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow
Living in the places where the shadows go

Cheshire Moon Ames, Iowa

Cheshire Moon is a fanciful melding of trickster bird Lizzie Crowe and mad hatter Eric Coleman.

These two-time Pegasus Award recipients are part of the growing music genre known as MythPunk, bringing old gods and folk tales into modern day, and bringing faerie tale princesses into the light of dark magic.

They weave journeys of song and story, bringing their listeners along for the ride. ... more
