Hinterland Devouts

I sleep with two guns to my head One says I love you, one says death I sleep with two guns to my head Aquitas Veritas Falsitas, pravitas I sleep with two guns to my head One says I love you, one says death I sleep with two guns to my head One reeks of desperation One seeks an affection But if either Goes off, fires You'll sure enough be dead I sleep with two guns to my head One says I love you, one says death I sleep with two guns Most nights I sleep softly But on those nights I feel haunted I take a gun and I cock it I stuff it into my pocket I walk out, on the street Down a mile, get some groceries Level it falsely, Pull the trigger, A killer of girls It's a beautiful bastard world
