Kentucky Avenue by Tom Waits

Does this make you cry or what?!

"I'll take a rusty nail
and scratch your initials on my arm
and I'll show you how to sneak up
on the roof of the drugstore

I'll take the spokes from your wheelchair
and a magpies wings
and tie em to your shoulders and your feet

I'll steal a hacksaw from my dad
and cut the braces off your legs
and we'll bury them tonight in the cornfield"
