Eddie Grace's Buick got four bullet holes in the side
And Charlie Delisle is sittin' at the top of an avocado tree
Mrs. Storm'll stab you with a steak knife
If you step on her lawn
I got a half pack of Lucky Strikes, man
So come along with me
Let's fill our pockets with macadamia nuts
Then go over to Bobby Goodmanson's
And jump off the roof
Hilda plays strip poker
And her mama's across the street
Joey Navinski says she put her tongue in his mouth
Dicky Faulkner's got a switchblade
And some gooseneck risers
That eucalyptus is a hunchback
There's a wind up from the south
So 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
Let's follow that fire truck
I think your house is burnin' down
Then 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
And steal a bunch of boysenberries
And smear 'em all on our face
I'll get a dollar from my mama's 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 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 '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
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
