me with the one eye.

See me comin' at him, grabbin' his nuts

and tearin' at 'em.

He'd seen that alright, felt it too.

He was screamin' and wailin' like a little baby.

He sat in the corner cryin'

Alone and huggin' his nuts 'till the ambulance come

the ambulance guys, they say:

"What the f*** happened here?"

I say:

..."He come to a reapin' what he had been sowin', that's what. "

They say:

"F***er been sowing some kind of heavy sh*t... "

What's wrong?

It just that it come as a shock to me

Hello?

Billy?

I seen a man come at me with

a crow bar once.

Guess he figured I was two-timing him.

I was coming home.

We were shacked up at the time.

He was waiting for me in the half-light.

Waitin' for me to come home.

I guess he worked himself

into some kind of frenzy.

I opened the f***in' door.

And I seen his f***in' shape burst out

of the chair...

and a crow-bar goin up

I screamed and turned

F***in' crow bar comes down...

...smashin' into that f***in' door

...cheap piece of sh*t...

...it just splinters into 1000 pieces

...like it was glass, sh*t flyin' everywhere

I don't take this kind

of behavior.

I seen what this fucko is up to

Bam!

I kick him in the nuts so hard that

they go crawling into his brain

...for refuge.

He goes down like a $2 whore.

...cryin' and sh*t and tell me that he's

never done nothing but love me bullshit...

Were you in fact seeing another man?

I was screwing a couple guys for drinks,

no big deal.

This one guy, he was kinda cute

F***er had a dick like a rhinocerous.

He'd f*** the sh*t out of you, I'll tell you what...

He'd buy me a couple of drinks after.

We'd talk.

He'd tell me about a town he grew up in.

All the little girls he'd f***

There was a chemical factory in this town

and, uh...

Telling us it was putting so much sh*t

in the air you couldn't think straight.

I got to a lot of the people.

there was a lot of crazy sh*t going on there.

People having weird dreams, and...

...seeing things that wasn't there.

So one time, this one little girl...

...she was starin' off at somethin' one time...

...starts screaming

They.. the... people hanging around,

they come to her and

...ask her what's wrong, and uh...

She says she sees the end of the world.

...on fire, and smoke

and blood rain".

You know, like they say...

The wailing and the gnashing of teeth.

Hey!

Look at me!

And I tell me if you've known me before.

Yes,

we will do that.

Where is the paper towels?

They're behind you, on the table.

It removes myself...

from this sinful dream...

...which invaded

my heart.
