Franks Wild Years (For Frankie Z.) Song Lyrics
Print Version
Tom Waits: Vocal
Ronnie Barron: Hammond organ
Larry Taylor: Acoustic bass
Well Frank settled down in the Valley
and 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 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 Mickey's Big Mouths
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 then
Frank put on a top forty station
got on the Hollywood Freeway
headed north
Never could stand that dog

Other Waits Tom song Lyrics | Falling Down

Come from St. Petersburg, Scarlett and me
Well I open my eyes, I was blind as can be

London Bridge is falling down.
Strange a woman tries to save
What a man will try to drown...." | Rubys Arms
"i will leave behind all of my clothes, i wore when i was with you, all i

blinds, for soon you will be waking...." | Clap Hands

Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands..." | Time

And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And you're east of East Saint Louis and the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause..." | Heartattack And Vine

"it's too early for the circus, it's too late for the bars, no one's sleepin'

the girls around here all look like cadillacs, no one likes a stranger here,..." | Downtown
"red pants and the sugarman in, the temple street gloom, drinkin' chivas
regal in a four dollar room, just another dead soldier in a powder blue night,
