Do you wanna wind up in a graveyard?
Like a number on a scorecard.
They're gonna wrap you up in corn silk
They're gonna cry like you were spilled milk.

You'd better take another Quaalude
And get yourself corkscrewed.
I understand that you got cold feet
But why'd you have to take 'em down a side street?

I must be dumber than a spit curl
cause I got hung up on a showgirl
Now I look like I'm a scarecrow
I might as well go on a talk show

CHORUS
And this ain't home anymore
Its just four walls and a floor
Home is where you get the goods for free
This is just the house that used to be
Yeah the house that used to be

You're gonna wind up in a graveyard
Like another girl who co-starred
They're gonna wrap you up in corn silks
They're gonna cry like you were spilled milk

And in the far off wail of freight trains
And in the lonely howl of Great Danes
I hear the girl I lost forever
I hear the girl I lost forever

CHORUS

  • Barrier Reef
    "The Empty Bottle was half empty, tide was low, and I was thirsty.
    Saw her sitting at the bar, you know how some girls are,
    Always making eyes, well she wasn't making eyes.
    So I sidled up beside her, settled down and shouted,

    ..."
  • Bel Air
    "I've been lightin' matches in the boiler room,
    Wearing sulphur perfume.
    You come sniffin' around just like you own the joint,
    You know it's rude to point...."
  • Big Brown Eyes
    "Big brown eyes, and a gust of wind,
    And the cherry burns the corner of the page that says ";The end
    Is coming soon,"; but not soon enough.
    Restring all your guitars. Pack up all your stuff...."
  • Bird In A Cage
    "I left you last night on the left coast
    I'm writin' you a letter right now
    The things that you do are rendering you
    Something I can't live without..."
  • Book Of Poems
    "Rowboat lightning I kissed her yeah it didn't mean a thing
    Seems like years ago it was yesterday
    Fire drill yell freeze don't hang around long face disease

  • Broadway
    "In a hotel room just off Times Square it's like a closet
    I can watch the dancing class go round.

    I can watch the working class go down...."
