Queer - Rheostatics[00:00:01]
You woke the wrecking yard hounds[00:00:12]
When you slammed the passenger side [00:00:16]
Father watched you from the yard[00:00:20]
With his knuckles wrapped in ice [00:00:23]
Now the screen door is still broken[00:00:27]
Since you kicked your Kodiaks through it [00:00:30]
But we left the Christmas tree standing[00:00:34]
In case you turned around [00:00:38]
Now I've heard you've got a good job[00:00:44]
Pitching hay down in Salmon Arm [00:00:47]
Maybe I'll hike there from the coast[00:00:52]
When the weather starts to warm [00:00:55]
K D called on the weekend;[00:00:59]
She was crying on the telephone [00:01:02]
Father said as far as he's concerned[00:01:06]
You've been stricken from our home [00:01:09]
He's gone out of his head [00:01:15]
(She's gone out of her head )[00:01:20]
He's gone out of his head [00:01:23]
(She's gone out of his head )[00:01:27]
He's gone out of his head [00:01:30]
Sometimes choices aren't so clear [00:01:35]
Father raged like a soldier [00:01:55]
He put his fist through the kitchen door[00:01:57]
When I said it would have been better if[00:02:02]
You had split on your own accord [00:02:05]
I don't care about the damage [00:02:09]
But I wish you were there to see it[00:02:13]
When I scored a hat-trick on the team[00:02:16]
That called you a f**king queer [00:02:20]
Gonna [00:02:25]
He's gone out of his head [00:02:26]
(She's gone out of her head )[00:02:30]
He's gone out of his head [00:02:33]
(She's gone out of his head )[00:02:37]
He's gone out of his head [00:02:40]
Sometimes choices aren't so clear [00:02:45]
(I'm in the country now [00:04:49]
Among the rattlesnakes and the sage-brush [00:04:51]
The concrete and asphalt and glass are gone [00:04:54]
And in its place is well water[00:04:57]
And black spruce and gravel roads[00:04:59]
Which snake and curl and wind through the valley [00:05:01]
I wish you were here to watch the sun sneak[00:05:04]
Above the mountains[00:05:06]
And play with the pure light across the farmland;[00:05:07]
It'll f**k your mind up [00:05:10]
But I'm glad I'm here and not there [00:05:12]
If I had stayed I would've killed him [00:05:14]
I would have come home[00:05:16]
And found him asleep on the couch [00:05:17]
And walked up to him[00:05:19]
And pressed the gun against his head [00:05:19]
And watched it explode in a glorious watercolor fountain [00:05:21]
All thick and red and gory [00:05:25]
I would have used it to paint the picture I'm seeing now )[00:05:27]
