He really was just a modern kinda guy.

lyrics

Sam Seven Seven
Sam Seven Seven, modern detective, just a regular guy
Worked in a building without any ceilings, Sam liked to look at the sky
Took any case, solved every one, Sam, modern private eye

Long hot summer, 4th of July, everybody so uptight
Old people dying, little kids crying, the neighborhood can't get no relief
Sam's mother named Carol, found in a barrel, dead since early last night
Seems Ebby, Sam's father, lost his cool in the heat and shot her with an old nail gun
Cops tried to lock old Ebby up, he got away, they said he was real tough

Sam Seven Seven went looking for his father to pay his last respects
Down on the corner of 23rd and Clay, Sam found his dear old dad
Pulled out his 45 and shot him right between the eyes, Sam was never one to fool around

Sam Seven Seven, modern detective, just a regular guy

The Sitting
by Mikail Graham

"an interesting composer/musician/producer, Mr. Graham's soundscapes reach into another time and place filled with chance moments leaning towards an ambient sound, but with an edge." The Young Penguins
