Daddy had always said that he would leave us safe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both me and Lucy alone in our old shack <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We sold colas and sodas to the construction crews <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was the plain one with short boyish hair mouse brown <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whereas Lucy was the beautiful one all boobs and butt <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I dressed in a quiet masculine way but not Lucy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who enjoyed the theatre of her reduced clothes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eventually this brought us problems when the good old boys <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moved to a different county where the money was better <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company had begun to employ drifters men without history <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this did not faze Lucy who carried on as before <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I warned her as some of these invisible men were beginning to watch us <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At first it was pleasant but their intentions were obvious <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To my surprise I was more popular than Lucy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think that they were attracted to my boyish looks <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This annoyed Lucy and her behaviours declined <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She became more extreme such was her frustration <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then we were attacked on that hot sweaty night <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were drunk and kicked our door down demanding satisfaction <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucy was held to the floor screaming loudly as she was abused <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other animal held me tightly in his arms <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I told him that I needed a piss as my badder was full <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He released me with a dire warnings about Lucy’s welfare <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I pissed in the yard I heard my late fathers voice <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was singing with his old guitar <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a Gun in the Well<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a Gun in the Well<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a Gun in the Well<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Repeat Repeat Repeat <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I went over to the well pretending to be thirsty <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And there it was in the old bucket wrapped in a sheet <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other animal was watching me and cussing loudly <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I walked behind the well I removed my vest <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This drove him wild and he came towards me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I shot him between the eyes and watched his brain explode <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gee Daddy you certainly know your weapons I whispered <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lucy was still being raped as I entered the shack<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was bleeding from her mouth but managed a bloody smile <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She knew what I was about to do with Daddy’s gun <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As not to hit my sister I made Lou aware that my breasts were bare <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was all I needed as the monster pushed Lucy away <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was laughing wildly as he lunged towards me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I shot him twice once in his mouth and then in the eye<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His head was almost blown clean off and he fell against the porch door <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gee Daddy you certainly know your weapons I whispered into Lucy’s ear<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caleb helped us clean the mess and we threw these monsters into the river <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They would be in the sea before anybody missed them <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that was that I returned Daddy’s gun to the well <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And described his song to my sister for her future protection <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a Gun in the Well<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a Gun in the Well<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a Gun in the Well
