作词 : 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
