Tom Waits - Frank`s Wild Years - text písně

Frank settled down out in the Valley
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 dollar loan at fifteen and a quarter percent
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
Mouths
Drank ‘em in the car on the 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
Then Frank put on a Top Forty station
Got on the Hollywood Freeway and headed north
Never could stand that dog
