Six O'clock News

Wanda had a baby, 1954

The father was a stranger

And the stranger was the son

Call that child, James Lewis

Call these rooms a home

Changin' all them diapers

Polish all the chrome

C'mon, baby

Spend the night with me

All around the schoolyard

Playing all the games

Runnin', laughin' back and forth

The kid with two first names

Stranger in the closet

Lock the diary

The past is runnin' faster

Singin' harmony

C'mon, baby

Spend the night with me

"God bless this kitchen"

Said the knick-knack shelf

The dinner's almost ready

Better go and wash yourself

And Jimmy's growin' up now

And Wanda growin' old

The time is growin' faster

The nights are long and cold

C'mon, baby

Spend the night with me

Sneakin' in the closet

Through the diary

Now, don't you know that all he saw was

All there was to see

The whole damn town saw Jimmy

On the six o'clock news

His brains were on the sidewalk

And blood was on his shoes

C'mon, baby

Spend the night with me

C'mon, baby

Spend the night with me
