Kentucky Anvenue — текст песни (Tom Waits)

Eddie graces buick got 4 bullet holes in the side

Charlie delisle sittin at the top of an avocado tree

Mrs 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 Ill 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 track

I think your house is burnin down

The go down to the hobo jungle and kill some rattle

Snakes with a trowel

Well break all the windowa in the old anderson place

And steal a bunch of boysenberrys

And smear em on our face

Ill get a dollar from my mamas purse

And buy that scull and crossbones ring

And you can wear it around your neck on an old piece of

String



Then well spit on ronnie arnold

And flip him the bird

And slash the tires on the school bus

Now dont say a word

Ill take a rusty nail and scratch your initials on my arm

And Ill show you how to sneak up on the roof of the

Drugstore



Take the spongs from your wheelchair

And a magpies wings

And tie em to your shoulders and your feet

Ill steal a hacksaw from my dad

And cut the braces off your legs

And well bury them tonight in the cornfield



Put a church keey in your pocket

Well hop that freight train in the hall

And well slide down the drain all the way

To new orleans in the fall
