The Dream Syndicate - Merrittville lyrics
Your rating:
Mathew (with the pugnose) caught me with his sister in the wheatfield. Got a couple of buddies Tied me up and threw me in his oldsmobile. I said : "Mathew are you crazy ?" As he started in for the kill Mathew slowed the olds to 10. and left me here to die in Merritville There's a game they play in the summertime There's a game they play when it's hot outside And I wonder why they left me here in Merritville Sally (with the narrow hips) cut the ropes and said she would clear my head Made a path out in the back and led me all the way to her daddy's shed so far for a thrill. Sally let me got that night, weak, tired, and spent out in Merritville There's a game they play in the summertime There's a game they play when it's hot outside And I wonder why they left me here in Merritville William (with the holy book) Stopped me as I styumbled down the road today. He said, "Get your knees, boy, you're gonna larn to pray". I said, "William, I had no idea that the Lord has such a will". William put his point across and left me here to burn in Merritville.
