eddie graces buick got 4 bullet holes in the side 
charlie delisle sittin at the top of an avocado tree 
mrs stormll 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 over to bobby goodmansons 
and jump off the roof 
 
hilda plays strip poker 
and her mamas across the street 
joey navinski says she put her tongue in his mouth 
dicky faulkners got a switchblade 
and some gooseneck 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 track 
i think your house is burnin down 
the go down to the hobo jungle and kill some rattle 
snakes with a trowel 
we'll break all the windowa in the old anderson place 
and steal a bunch of boysenberrys 
and smear 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 around your neck on an old piece of 
string 
 
then we'll spit on ronnie 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 spongs from your wheelchair 
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 keey 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
