Tom Waits Kentucky Avenue Lyrics
eddie graces buick got 4 bullet holes in the sidecharlie delisle sittin at the top of an avocado treemrs 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 goodmansons and 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 eucalyptus 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 along with me lets follow that fire tracki think your house is burnin downthe go down to the hobo jungleand kill some rattle snakes with a trowelwe'll break all the windows in the old anderson placeand steal a bunch of boysenberrysand smear em on our facei'll get a dollar from my mamas purseand buy that skull and crossbones ringand you can wear it around your neckon an old piece of stringthen we'll spit on ronnie arnoldand flip him the birdand slash the tires on the school busnow don't say a wordi'll take a rusty nail and scratch your initials on my armand i'll show you how to sneak up on the roof of the drugstoretake the spokes from your wheelchairand a magpies wingsand tie em to your shoulders and your feeti'll steal a hacksaw from my dadand cut the braces off your legsand we'll bury them tonight in the cornfieldput a church keey in your pocketwe'll hop that freight train in the hall and we'll slide down the drain all the wayto new orleans in the fall

Well, my comment to my posting to you is that the final verse to this song really cuts - freedom to fly to be able... to fly...
