Lyrics for 'Franks Wild Years' by '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.
