Frank's Wild Years - Tom Waits

作词：Tom Waits

作曲：Tom Waits

Frank settled down in the Valley

And 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 loan at

15 1/4 % and 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 Mouth’ s

Drank 'em in the car on his 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

Frank put on a top forty station

Got on the Hollywood Freeway

Headed North

Never could stand that dog
