Ginger dyed her hair red to it her name
Burny pocked his arms with a pack of camel lights
Long sleeves outdoors to keep the kids from crying
And ginger climbed the high wire just to make them cheer.
Trapeze float in a bu*tercup parade
With clowns and plastic parachutes three red the same
Clutched arms fire dropped in a bar in new york city
And it's not so far to go to find trouble.
A bus rattles downstairs, downtown flying
With a gren seat empty and a window cracked
Sleeping john snores dreaming oceans and who*es
All the while gluing tile on basement doors.
He's burny arms brother, 'ginger's' other mate
And it's too late to tap the till, the money's gone
Arm holes long locks a house with nothing in it
And it's not so far to go to find trouble.
A thousand mile handhold might keep the party still
If the holes heal well and the hair stays red
We'll climb another roof top and scare the crooks away
A gypsy and a singer in the bone yard.
Walking the moonlight, losing the sign
Sleeping john wakes, he doesn't know where he is
A bus stop in up state a bar in new york city
And it's not so far to go to find trouble.
