tom waits - frank's wild years (2023 remaster) lyrics

frank settled down out 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 thirty+thousand dollar loan at fifteen and a quarter percent
put a down payment on a little two+bedroom place
his wife was a spent piece of used jet trash
made good bl++dy 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 the way to the sh+ll 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 40 station
got on the hollywood freeway and headed north
never could stand that dog
