Now, George was a good straight boy to begin with, but there was bad blood 
In him; someway he got into the magic bullets and that leads straight to 
Devil's work, just like marijuana leads to heroin; you think yo ucan take 
Them bullets or leave 'em, do you? 
Just save a few for your bad days 
 
Well, now, we all have those bad days when you can't shoot for shit. 
 
The more of them magics you use, the more bad days you have without them 
So it comes down finally to all your days being bad without the bullets 
It's magics or nothing 
Time to stop chippying around and kidding yourself, 
Kid, you're hooked, heavy as lead 
 
And that's where old George found himself 
Out there at the crossroads 
Molding the Devil's bullets 
Now a man figures it's his bullets, so it will 
Hit what he wants to hit 
But it don't always work that way 
 
You see, some bullets is special for a single aim 
A certain stag, or a certain person 
And no matter where you are, that's where the bullet will end up 
And in the moment of aiming, the gun turns into a dowser's wand 
And point where the bullet wants to go 
 
(George Schmid was moving in a series of convulsive spasms, like someone 
with an epileptic fit, with his face distorted and his eyes wild like a 
lassoed horse bracing his legs. But something kept pulling him on. And now 
he is picking up the skulls and making the circle.) 
 
I guess old George didn't rightly know what he's getting himself into 
The fit was on him and it carried him right to the crossroads
