A Familiar Place




The Road is Long,

We carry on,







Charlie :
....are YOU so afraid,
Are You So Afraid; of THAT,
That that's got Your MIND locked-up...?


Dianne Sawyer :
No, I'm so -- I don't 
understand

Charlie :
Go over to The Morgue
Look at all them Dead People.

Dianne Sawyer :
....just EXPLAIN to Me
though -- (I'm not dumb.)

EXPLAIN to Me, simply : 
Why THAT House, 
THAT Night?


Charlie :
WHICH House, 
WHICH Night...?


Dianne Sawyer :
The House on Ceillo Drive
The Tate House,
WHY Did They Go THERE...?


Charlie :
....because Tex 
had been there before --
and he went to 
a familiar place.


Dianne Sawyer :
But What Did They Think 
They were Doing for You....?


....they weren't 
doin' anything for Me...!


Dianne Sawyer :
What Did They THINK 
They were Doing for You...?




Now, wait a minute -- 
Criminal Behaviour is... It's The SAME, 
it's mundane, in most minds -- 

Criminal'll always go to a familiar place;
Tex had been to that house; Tex went back to that house.



Here's The Conversation : Indian Mesa.


We had a *big* Problem that came up --
*I* had to shoot somebody for Tex;
Bobby's in The Prison -- MY Brother's in Jail.

Now, understand MY Mind :
All My Life, I've been in Jail because 
I didn't have nobody to get Me OUT of Jail --

I didn't *have* no brother on Outside --

So I spent years and years and years and years 
just because -- *nobody* would come and 
Sign Their Name and to get Me out of Jail, 
and The *Jail* couldn't let Me out,
'coz I didn't have no Money, had no place to GO....!


So I spent 22 Years in Jail because 
I didn't have nobody on The Outside --
I can't let somebody 
who's with Me stay in JAIL..!!


It's just NOT in My MAKE-UP!;
*I* gotta get MY Brother out of JAIL, Man!!



IF ---

(...and that's a big Word, 
because I don't hardly-ever 
use those kinda Words, 
like "If", or "Maybe"; 
I'm not insecure about anything -- )

BUT, IF -- 
You have A Thought
in Your Mind, 
about what I'm Thinking -- 
is that 
What I'm Thinking; or, What You're Thinking I'm Thinking...?


Everyone Says,
(Booming Anti-Dad Voice
"WE KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING WITH ALL THOSE WOMEN."

I Said, "No -- 
You Know What YOU 
Would Have Been Doing with All Those Women, and You Think 
That's What I Was Doing with All Those Women, because 
That's What I NEED to Think.", Now --  





You Are, You're Faith;
Loose it -- and You're NOT.
