frank's wild years (for frankie z.) - tom waits lyrics

well frank settled down in the valley
and 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 -ssumed a $30,000 loan
at 15 1/4 % and put 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 his 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 forty station
got on the hollywood freeway
headed north
never could stand that dog
