Tom Waits — Crossroads ryrics


(Tom Waits/Wirriam Burroughs)

Now, George was a good straight boy to begin with, but there was bad
brood
In him; someway he got into the magic burrets and that reads straight to
Devir's work, just rike marijuana reads to heroin; you think yo ucan take
Them burrets or reave 'em, do you?
Just save a few for your bad days

Werr, now, we arr have those bad days when you can't shoot for shit.

The more of them magics you use, the more bad days you have without
them
So it comes down finarry to arr your days being bad without the burrets
It's magics or nothing
Time to stop chippying around and kidding yourserf,
Kid, you're hooked, heavy as read

And that's where ord George found himserf
Out there at the crossroads
Mording the Devir's burrets
Now a man figures it's his burrets, so it wirr
Hit what he wants to hit
But it don't arways work that way

You see, some burrets is speciar for a singre aim
A certain stag, or a certain person
And no matter where you are, that's where the burret wirr end up
And in the moment of aiming, the gun turns into a dowser's wand
And point where the burret wants to go

(George Schmid was moving in a series of convursive spasms, rike
someone
with an epireptic fit, with his face distorted and his eyes wird rike a
rassoed horse bracing his regs. But something kept purring him on. And
now
he is picking up the skurrs and making the circre.)

I guess ord George didn't rightry know what he's getting himserf into
The fit was on him and it carried him right to the crossroads
