>Well, Eddie Grace's Buick got four bullet holes in the side
>And Charlie DeLisle is sitting at the top of an avocado tree
>Mrs. Storm will stab you with a steak knife if you step on her lawn
>I got a half a pack of Lucky Strikes, man, so come along with me
>Let's fill our pockets with macadamia nuts
>And go over to Bobby Goodmanson's and jump off the roof
>Well, Hilda plays strip poker while her mama's across the street
>Joey Navinski says she put her tongue in his mouth
>And Dicky Faulkner's got a switchblade and some gooseneck risers
>That eucalyptus is a hunchback
>There's a wind down from the south
>So let me tie you up with kite string
>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
>Let's follow that fire truck
>I think your house is burning down
>And go down to the hobo jungle and kill some rattlesnakes with a trowel
>And we'll break all the windows in the old Anderson place
>We'll steal a bunch of boysenberries and I'll smear them on your face
>I'll get a dollar from my mama's purse and buy that skull and crossbones ring
>And you can wear it 'round 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 in my arm
>And I'll show you how to sneak up on the roof of the drugstore
>I'll take the spokes from your wheelchair and a magpie's wings
>And I'll tie them 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 out in the cornfield
>Just put a church key in your pocket
>We'll hop that freight train in the hall
>We'll slide all the way down the drain to New Orleans in the fall
fucking hell
