Kentucky Avenue Lyrics - Blue Valentine - Tom Waits

Eddie Grace's buick got four bullet holes in the side 

Charley Delisle is sittin' at the top of an avocado tree 

Mrs Storm will stab you with a steak knife if you step on her lawn 

I got a half a pack of lucky strikes man, so come along with me 

Let's fill our pockets with macadamia nuts 

And go ever to Bobby Goodmanson's and jump off the roof 

Hilda plays strip poker when her mama's across the street 

Joey Navinsky says she put her tongue in his mouth 

Dicky Faulkner's got a switchblade and some gooseneck risers 

That eucalyptus is a hunchback, there's a wind down from the south 

So let me tie you up with kite string, I'll show you the scabs on my knee 

Watch out for the broken glass, put your shoes and socks on, 

and come along with me

Let's follow that fire truck, I think your house is burning down 

Then go down to the hobo jungle and kill some rattlesnakes with a trowel 

And we'll break all the windows in the old Anderson place 

We'll steal a bunch of boysenberrys and smear 'em on your face 

I'll get a dollar from my mama's purse, buy that skull and crossbones ring 

And you can wear it round your neck on an old piece of string 

Then we'll spit on Ronnie Arnold and flip him the bird 

Slash the tires on the school bus, now don't say a word 

I'll take a rusty nail, scratch your initials in my arm 

I'll show you how to sneak up on the roof of the drugstore 

I'll take the spokes from your wheelchair, and a magpie's wings 

And I'll tie 'em to your shoulders and your feet 

I'll steal a hacksaw from my dad, cut the braces off your legs 

And we'll bury them tonight out in the cornfield

Just put a church key in your pocket 

We'll hop that freight train in the hall 

We'll slide all the way down the drain 

To New Orleans in the fall
