I won't take all that they hand me down
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown
'Cause I'm not gonna take it all lying down
'Cause once I get started, I go to town
'Cause I'm not like everybody else

Well Frank settled down out in the Valley and he 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 assumed a $30,000 loan at 15¼%, put a down payment on a little two-bedroom place

His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash: made good Bloody 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 Shell 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 40-station, got on the Hollywood Freeway, and headed north

Never could stand that dog.

Oh, there's twenty-thousand grandmas
Wave their hankies in the air
And burning up their pensions
And shouting, "It's not fair!"

There's a regiment of soldiers
Standing, looking on
And the queen is bravely shouting
"What the hell is going on?"

With a blood-curdling "Tally-ho"
She charged into the ranks
And blessed all those grandmas who
With their dying breaths screamed, "Thanks!"

Me, I'm just waiting so patiently
With my woman on the floor
We're just trying to do this jigsaw puzzle
Before it rains anymore

I feel so hollow I just don't understand
Nothing's turned out like I--like I planned
My head's exploding
My mouth is dry
I can't help it if I've forgotten how to cry

When I was just a baby, my mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry

I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me

Just later on the very same night
When I crept to her tent with a flashlight
And my long years of innocence ended
Well, she took me to the woods
Saying here comes something and it feels so good
And just like a dog, I was befriended
I was befriended

Oh, oh, what a night
Oh what a garden of delight
Even now that sweet memory lingers
I was playing my guitar lying underneath the stars
Just thanking the Lord for my fingers
For my fingers

It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby
I still need some company

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs of a woman of your age, Ruby, I realize
But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to town

She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to town
Oh, Ruby
For God's sake turn around

Lord, I've been such a bad boy
I've been disobedient
I made mistakes
I made blunders

That's true of thousands and thousands of people
Little children don't mean anything!
It's dope, and liquor
I tell you, unsaved people don't have any means of deliverance
None!

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law breaks in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row

My evil eye is a cracked-up lens
If I had some you could ask my friends
There’s no percentage in you asking why
I eat what I see through my evil eye

I sleep in a hole under the sky
I get mistaken for your average guy
Stalk him to his comfortable home
I see it all I see the fire and chrome

Cold is the hunter, warm is the blade
The ground is hard, so is the spade
We live like garbage, stinking high
Don’t you put no pennies on my evil eye

Won't you come insidе our junkyard
Come on in, let's take a look around
Won't you come inside our junkyard
Come in, let's take a ride around the grounds

Now you see that piece over there (yeah)
It's some kind of modern art (Mhmm)
You know I made it myself (yeah I bet you did)

I got one of every single man-made thing
I got one of every single man-made thing
I got one of every single thing
In my junkyard
