This is the beginning of a scene from the 1992 movie Roadside Prophets, with John Doe as Joe Mosely, Adam Horowitz as Sam, and, among other roadside prophets, David Carradine as Othello Jones.
On min. 1:14 of this 2009 Live Version of this song, David Carradine explains he calls it The Artichoke So...
[David Carradine as the singer (Othello Jones), John Doe as Joe and Adam Horowitz as Sam]
[As Joe and Sam walk, they hear a guitar]
(You hear that?)
(What?)
I don't need no divinin' rod
To show me where the water lies
I don't need no preacher to show me God
I can see Him shining in your eyes
I'm walking over the hill
I haven't got it together yet
But before I'm over the hill I will
Looking to see the light
Hoping I can last all night
Hoping that I'll live to see the light
[Deeply inhales from a hookah]
(Like a smoke?)
