Lyrics

Well Frank settled down 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 On a little two bedroom place His wife was a spent peice of used jet trash Made good bloody marys Kept her mouth shut most of the time Had a little Chihuahua named Carlos That had somekind 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 liqour store Picked up a couple of 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 forty station Got on the Hollywood Freeway Headed north Never could stand that dog
