Kentucky avenue lyrics

Artist  : Tom waits 
Song : Kentucky avenue
 
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
goodmans
Nd 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
e
Ptus 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
G 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 windows 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 skull 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 spokes 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
