Tom Waits - Frank's Wild Years songtekst
Je score:
Frank settled down in the Valley, And he hung his wild years on a Nail that he drove through his Wife's forehead. He sold used office furniture out There on San Fernando Road and Assumed a $30,000 loan at 15 1/4 % and put a down payment On a little two bedroom place. His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash Made good bloody-marys, kept her mouth Shut most of the time, had a little Chihuahua Named Carlos that had some kind of skin Disease and was totally blind. They had a thoroughly modern kitchen; Self-cleaning oven (the whole bit) Frank drove a little sedan. They were so happy. One night Frank was on his way home From work, stopped at the liquor store, Picked up a couple of Mickey's Big Mouth’s. Drank 'em in the car on his way to the Shell station; he got a gallon of gas in a can. Drove home, doused everything in The house, torched it. Parked across the street laughing, Watching it burn, all Halloween Orange and chimney red. Frank put on a top forty station, Got on the Hollywood Freeway Headed North. Never could stand that dog.
