Little Eddie Lyrics - Badlees

There are nights when I'm in my bed 

Fear, like a freight train, runnin' through my head 

Watch a man in the county seat 

Bring a gavel down and he looks like me 

Little Eddie stares at the corn all day 

He says, "wonder how God makes it grow that way" 

They say, "watch that weird kid wase away his life 

He's one of those Kline boys and you know what they're like" 

Ooh, take me away to another world that doesn't think that way 

Ooh, take me away to another world 

Last September, it was late one night 

Eddie's on a hilltop and he's listening to a fight 

Finds a young girl, well, she's younger than most 

Left with a blank stare, given up her ghost 

He touches her lips and shuts her eyes 

Pulls the knife out and begins to cry 

Look at Eddie standing in the moonlight 

That weird little kid's got a switchblade knife 

Ooh, take me away to another world that doesn't think that way 

The hour arrives and the time is at hand 

Eddie gets up and he walks off the stand 

Stares at the jury sitting row by row 

Wonders why god ever let them grow 

Ooh take me away to another world that doesn't think that way
