palm reading pourer with a heavy hand
you got a shadow on you son
somethin really dirty and dismal
tappin you on the shoulder
and you so stupid you lookin back
tryin to talk to it too
pointer fingers
out of every hole in the wall
it's not water or dark
it's what's in it
you need to be afraid of boy
somebody tryin
to redefine the conditions of your parole
bet you the next round
there is a woman behind it
but you steady blamin the skies

those last three lines are straight up punches in the face.
actually, this whole piece is very accusatory and makes the subject seem oblivious. maybe he is. maybe he just wants to believe that the world really isn't full of cruel people.

It's voodoo blues stuff and wild good. This would make for a good Johnny Cash like song.
