Peaceful Man from Gusty by Birdspotter

“Have you ever lost a friend?
Do you ever wonder what miserly revelation
Is lurking down the bend?”
Well I say “Ted don’t tempt me
You know I’d never think such earthly things,
At least not since Julie left me.”

I see two men hitchhiking on the shoulder of the interstate
But I’m preoccupied with the question.
So when I let Ted off at the depot parking lot
I take a long drive in a new direction.

Alarm! Alarm, alarm!
Hotel bar, week in the car.
Alarm! Alarm, alarm!
Hotel, week in the car.
And I start thinking to myself
Is there a point in this suffering?
Am I just acting out my conditioning?
Driving Fargo to Michigan.
Counting streetlights at dawn

When I see two men fighting to death on the shoulder of the interstate.
Goddammit I’m a peaceful man
But goddamn I gotta do what I can.
