| 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 |
