Break your hip, break your toe
Break it til your left hand's straight
Hit me with a wood bat,
Hit me with a canister
Just found my soul, drive away
Bend the finger back, snap!
Owwww, owwww, owwww
Hurt for days
Hit me with a wood bat
Hit me like a Yankee
Like the South that never had a slave
They said the kid willing is a dummy on a line
Sympathy that early, the sun will never shine
Everybody wants you, but baby you are mine
Baby, you're not anybody's fool
Listen with a heart attack
The industry is calling
You can show me where to find a searcher's knife
Visit every now
How did I do the punishment?
The punishment I needed all my life
Bend the finger back, snap!
Owwww, owwwww, owwww
First draft
Listen to the motor
And listen to the ambulance
It's harder letting me for being wired
They said the kid willing is a dummy on a line
Sympathy that early, the sun will never shine
Everybody wants you, but baby you are mine
Baby, you're not anybody's fool
You know that I'm awakened and the road down is wide
A sense of curiosity and yes, they coincide
Everyone was shy, we took 'em for a ride
Baby, you're not anybody's fool
Bend the finger back, snap!
Break your hip, break your toe
Break it til your left hand's straight
Hit me with a wood bat,
Hit me with a canister
Just found my soul, drive away
Bend the finger back, snap!
Owwww, owwww, owwww
Hurt for days
Hit me with a wood bat
Hit me like a Yankee
Like the South that never had a slave
They said the kid willing is a dummy on a line
Sympathy that early, the sun will never shine
Everybody wants you, but baby you are mine
Baby, you're not anybody's fool
The obstacle is broken and intelligence is fine
The city getting down like a country in decline
Every once and now I look you in the eyes
Baby, you're not anybody's fool
See ya next year in Jerusalem
You know, the one at 103rd and Broadway?
Cause this Orthodox girl fell in love with the guy at the falafel shop
And why not?
Should she have averted her eyes and just stared at the laminated poster of the Dome of the Rock?
And then blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, bloooood
And then blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, bloooood
Remembrances of holy days in Tarrytown and Rye
I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
Remembrances of generous hearts that couldn't bear to try
I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
Remembrances of holy days in Tarrytown and Rye
I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die
Bend the finger back, snap! Break your hip, break your toe Break it til your left hand's straight Hit me with a wood bat, Hit me with a canister Just found my soul, drive away Bend the finger back, snap!
