“[...]
"I owe you", says "Your shoes are filling with your own damn blood,
you must want something, just tell me, and it鈥檚 yours."
But I can鈥檛 look at him, can hardly speak,
I took the bullet for all the wrong reasons, I鈥檇 just as soon kill you myself, I say.
You keep saying "I owe you, I owe鈥�" but you say the same thing every time.
Let鈥檚 not talk about it, let鈥檚 just not talk.
Not because I don鈥檛 believe it, not because I want it any different, but I鈥檓 always saving
and you鈥檙e always owing and I鈥檓 tired of asking to settle the debt.
Don鈥檛 bother.
You never mean it anyway, not really, and it only makes me that much more ashamed.
There鈥檚 only one thing I want, don鈥檛 make me say it, just get me bandages, I鈥檓 bleeding,
I鈥檓 not just making conversation.
There鈥檚 smashed glass glittering everywhere like stars. It鈥檚 a Western, Henry,
it鈥檚 a downright shoot-em-up. We鈥檝e made a graveyard out of the bone white afternoon.
It鈥檚 another wrong-man-dies scenario
and we keep doing it, Henry, keep saying until we get it right鈥�
but we always win and we never quit, see, we鈥檝e won again, here we are at the place
where I get to beg for it
