@[Badcelery:40132] who calls a penis a gun. Did you ever see a gun go limp and dribble semen after firing off a round. Maybe a metaphor in a violence sado-masochistic way I guess. Maybe a stretch no pun intended. |

This song is simply about shooting up with a needle known by the junkie world of those days as a gun or set of works. Bang bang shoot shoot is when the junkie reboots the plunger in hopes of getting a second euphoric bang. The warmth of the gun needle comes when the needle hits the vein and a thin stream of blood floats up into syringe thereby warming the syringe and by now you are feeling really happy. The only mistake is to talk about holding you in my arms because one does and can not hold the needle in their arms. It is a wrong and impossible configuration in the process of shooting up. |

| Tom Waits – Invitation to the Blues Lyrics

God haven\'t any of you ever travelled and wound up in a strange diner late at night and fell in love with the attractive waitress behind the counter. This can happen anywhere at any tine to anyone and does. This is what Waits is telling us and knows we should know what the heck he is saying. Any American man should have been through this by age 19. Then we fantasize because our own lives have gone drab and empty and by comparison living at the Squire and working at the gas station sounds great. Trust me there were times when I would have accepted an invitation to the blues and didjust not at the diner. |
