kentuchy avenue

Singer:waits, tom

eddie graces buick got 4 bullet holes in the side

charley delislesittin' at the top of an avacado tree

mrs storml stab you with a steak knife if you step on her lawn

i got a half pack of lucky strikes man come along with me

lets fill our pockets with macadamia nuts

then go ever to bobby goodmansons

and jump off the roof

hilda plays strip poker

and her mamas across the street

joey narinsky says she put her tongue in his mouth

dicky faulkners got a switchblade

and some goosenecks risers

that eucalyptus is a hunchback

theres a wind up from the south

let me tie you up with kite string

and i'll show you the scabs on my knee

watch out for the broken glass

put your shoes and socks

on and come along with me

lets follow that fire truck

i think your house is burning down

then go down to the hobo jungle and kill some rattle

snakes with a trowel

we'll break all the windows in the ols anderson place

and steal a bunch of boysenberrys

ans swear em on our face

i'll get a dollar from my mamas purse

and buy that scull and crossbones ring

and you can wear it round your neck on an old piece of string

then we'll split on ronniie arnold

and flip him the bird

and slash the tires on the school bus

now don't say a word

i'll take a rusty nail and scratch your initials on my arm

and i'll show you how to sneak up on the roof of the drugstore

take the spokes from your wheellchair

and a magpies wings

and tie em to your shoulders and your feet

i'll steal a hacksaw from my dad

and cut the braces off your legs

and we'll bury them tonight in the cornfield

put a church key in your pocket

we'll hop that freight train in the hall

and we'll slide down the drain all the way

to new orleans in the fall
