10.24

I think I shot a man in my sleep tonight but my head left the matter unclear. It was as if I didn't need to know or that my head began to show how I never ever really know the whys of all my woe. My head (it said, for it knew best) that I was an inconstant show. "What's that?" (I said, to my head) "Inconstant me? I'm trustworthy. I'm faithful, if I'm slow. I never go from friends I know nor shoot the friends I don't!" "There's the problem! There, you see!!" (it said, a rebuttal from my aching head) and an idea took up to grow. Perhaps my head has never said if the man was dead because I ought to know that it doesn't mean a gosh darn thing if my head should cover o'er the whole darn show in a single go or ever tell if he fell by my hand or another man because the [ ] I ought to know is that my head's the pro.
Dreams are best for all the rest. I'll stick to the sleep I know.


I think I shot a man in my sleep tonight,

but my head left the matter unclear.

It was as if I didn't need to know

or that my head began to show

how I never ever really know

the whys of all my woe.

My head (it said, for it knew best)

that I was an inconstant show.

"What's that?" (I said, to my head)

"Inconstant me? I'm trustworthy.

I'm faithful, if I'm slow.

I never go from friends I know

nor shoot the friends I don't!"

"There's the problem! There, you see!!"

(it said, rebuttal from my aching head)

and an idea took up to grow.

Perhaps my head has never said

if the man was dead because I ought to know

that it doesn't mean

a gosh darn thing

if my head should cover o'er

the whole darn show

in a single go

or ever tell

if he fell

by my hand

or another man

because the [ ]

I ought to know

is that my head's the pro.

Dreams are best for all the rest. I'll stick to the sleep I know.
