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.
