Medieval Man 04:22
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," 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 03:14
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.
