Crossroads |
Now, George was a good straight boy to begin with |
But there was bad blood in him someway |
He got into the magic bullets and |
That leads straight to Devil’s work |
Just like marywanna leads to heroin |
You think you can take them bullets and leave 'em, do you? |
Just save a few for your bad days |
Well… |
Well, now we all have those bad days when we can’t hit for shit |
The more of them magics you use |
The more bad days you have without them |
So it comes down to finally |
All your days being bad without the bullets |
It’s magics or nothing |
Time to stop chippying around and kidding yourself |
Kid, you’re hooked, heavy as lead |
And that’s where old George found himself |
Out there at the crossroads |
Molding the Devil’s bullets |
Now a man figures it’s his bullets |
So it’ll take what he wants |
But it don’t always work out that way |
You see, some bullets is special for a single aim |
A certain stag, or a certain person |
And no matter where you aim, that’s where the bullet will end up |
And in the moment of aiming, the gun turns into a dowser’s wand |
And points where the bullet wants to go |
George Schmid was moving in a series of convulsive spasms |
Like someone in an epileptic fit |
With his face contorted, and his eyes wild |
Like a lassoed horse |
Bracing his legs but something kept pulling him on |
And now he is picking up the skulls and makin' a circle |
I guess old George didn’t rightly know what he was getting himself into |
The fit was on him and it carried him right to the crossroads |
