So let me tie you up with kite string
         D6
and I'll show you the scabs on my knee
[ch]Aadd9/C#[/ch]
Watch out for the broken glass, put your shoes and socks on
Bm7                   E7
  and come along with me
 
Let's follow that fire truck
I think your house is burnin' 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
And we'll steal a bunch of boysenberries
and I'll smear 'em on your face
 
I'll get a dollar from my mama's purse
and buy that scull 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
And slash the tires on the school bus
now don't say a word
 
I'll take a rusty nail
and scratch your initials in my arm
And 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
and cut the braces off your legs
And we'll bury them tonight
out in the cornfield
 
           [ch]Aadd9/C#[/ch]
Just put a church key in your pocket
               D6
we'll hop that freight train in the hall
      [ch]Aadd9/C#[/ch]
We'll slide all the way down the drain
Bm7      E7             [ch]Aadd9/C#[/ch]     D6
  to New Orleans in the fall
