Children, Broadripple is burning And the girls are getting sick Off huffing glue up in the bathroom While their boyfriends pick up chicks. And darling I'm lost. I heard you whispering That night in fountain square. The trashed filled streets made me wish we were heading home. There was love inside the basement Where that woman used to lie In a sleeping bag we shared upon The floor almost every night. Oh, darling I'm drunk, And everything that I had loved has turned to stone. So pack your bags and come back home. And I'm wasted. You can taste it. Don't look at me that way, 'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope. I will haunt you like a ghost. If my woman was a fire, She'd burn out before I wake, And be replaced by pints of whiskey, Cigarettes, and outer space. Then somebody moves And everything you thought you had has gone to sh**. Well, we've got a lot. Don't ever forget that. And I wrote this on airplane where the people looked like ants. And when a woman that you loved was gone, She was bombing East Japan. Don't f**ing move, 'Cause everything you thought you had will go to sh**. We've got a lot. Don't you dare forget that. And I'm wasted. You can taste it. Don't look at me that way, 'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope. I will haunt you like a ghost. And I'm wasted. You can taste it. Don't look at me that way, 'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope. I will haunt you like a ghost.
