Mischief Night

We did a bad thing, Baby On the street that night We did a bad thing, Baby Nothing can make it right Terry was a time bomb Tommy was a fuse They blew up at the Casbah Mischief Night 2002 One had a gun One had a knife One took the lookout The other took the life Meet me down the end Of Court House Street I'll be at the base of the hangman's tree You will see me soon enough Wrapped in stripes, hands in cuffs Eyes stay open, mouths stay shut They can never sever us Made a break for Vegas Dressed as bride and groom But got lost somewhere out there Where the Whipple Cholla blooms Skinned at the knees Like girded trees Sewn up in rest-stop stitches Curled up in drainage ditches Meet me down the end Of Court House Street I'll be at the base of the hangman's tree You will see me soon enough Wrapped in stripes, hands in cuffs Eyes stay open, mouths stay shut They can never sever us Meet me down the end Of Court House Street I'll be at the base of the hangman's tree We did a bad thing, Baby
