The Badlees - Little Eddie lyrics

There are nights when I'm in my bed Fear, like a freight train, runnin' through my head Watch a man in the county seat Bring a gavel down and he looks like me Little Eddie stares at the corn all day He says, "wonder how God makes it grow that way" They say, "watch that weird kid wase away his life He's one of those Kline boys and you know what they're like" Ooh, take me away to another world that doesn't think that way Ooh, take me away to another world Last September, it was late one night Eddie's on a hilltop and he's listening to a fight Finds a young girl, well, she's younger than most Left with a blank stare, given up her ghost He touches her lips and shuts her eyes Pulls the knife out and begins to cry Look at Eddie standing in the moonlight That weird little kid's got a switchblade knife Ooh, take me away to another world that doesn't think that way The hour arrives and the time is at hand Eddie gets up and he walks off the stand Stares at the jury sitting row by row Wonders why god ever let them grow Ooh take me away to another world that doesn't think that way
