Medieval Man

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

Step Into My Sphere

"Step into my sphere,"
said the lady to the guy.
"Don't send your sphinx my way.
Don't send your sphinx to town."
It's a confusing thing
when you believe in someone
because you trust them.
Fire comes with fire.
"Are we always drawing backwards?"
said the lady to the mirror.
"Ruby-Lucille,
don't send your sphinx to town.
Ruby-Lucille,
you picked a fine line to wheel."
It's noon now and it feels like 7:00 a.m
Got another whole day
on that tiny little stage
you call your town.
We're not following you around.
"Ruby-Lucille,
don't take your sphinx to town.
Ruby-Lucille,
you picked a fine hand to deal."
"Step into my sphere,"
said the lady to the guy.
"Come into my sphere,"
said the lady to the guy.

In Canada

Living in a trailer across the road
from the cows you were supposed to milk
before dawn.
You don't get home in time
and besides you're ripped and torn.
You're walked to the edge of the land and told,
"Never darken this doorway again."
Kind of a killer
when when when
You cross the world's longest covered bridge
on your father's bike to see your girl
with another man.
You were ten minutes late
She gets away to tell you,
"You have a lot of pigeon shit on you."
That's what happens
in the longest covered bridge in the world.
Kind of a killer
when when when
You drink a half a quart of whiskey
with your bacon and your eggs
every morning.
You're bound to take a dive
for a stainless steel sink
and someone will have to decide
at what point in flight
mid or otherwise you died.
And for that the first utterance is,
"It's about time."
Kind of a killer
when when when
Something a little sad when you walk the fifteen miles
to your baby while your baby has her daddy's car.
Things went missing, things got replaced
and a few people struck down the law of the land
with only a butter knife in hand.
In Canada.
