lyrics

Medieval man tucks the gun
of a caliber I'm not familiar with
I've never heard of a 33 automatic weapon
Tucks the gun
into the waistband of his tights
and pulls his tunic down to stroll the room

If you know
what a gun can do for you
you know that the knee
can produce a reaction
in a jerk that wont shut up

Press the gun
on his knee and talk to him
When the candle flares
in a draftless room
I can only assume
it's the gasoline
on your breath

Sammy, Dean and Brian
all became addicted to
the farm gas barrels
the fumes
How did they do it?

I like to stay outside myself

If you know
what gun can do for you
you know that the knee
can produce a reaction
in a jerk who wont shut up

Medieval man knows when the bricks end
in a tourist town
you're on the outs
and the pace just picked down

I like to stay outside myself
