Old Crusty, he's asleep and old Grumbles he's a-keepin The kitchen orderly, with no help or thanks to me, ya know And Lily, she's a sweety. Francisco, he's completely a megalomaniac But that's better than a heart attack And Oh, oh, St. Mary, what will you do? Your babies is crazies and maybe they're out serving you From Florida to Franklin and St. Claude to Poland They're rippin' out our guts, you never know who to trust And old Val he's buildin' doors and young Val he's doin chores with this flatbed pick-up truck, no, none of us is making bucks And Oh, oh, St. Mary, what will you do? Your babies is crazies and maybe they're out serving you And Kirstin's in the closet, she's takin them droplets Of Kombucha and E.M. -It's not proven but we won't tell them And Liz and Lani are in the bike shop while I learn to pick locks With Zeke from Bellingham. I think I just heard someone say That Sam, he's on the front steps, he's smokin them cigarettes With Glen and Tim and Jake and Gabe but not Casey or Renee cause they don't fly that way And Oh, oh, St. Mary, what will you do? Your babies is crazies and maybe they're out serving you Well Bill's on the front steps, he's smokin crack, his pants are wet Then Jake rolls up, there's no secrets, he looks at Bill and says, "No bullshit." Now someone's on a bicycle, they may have been shot in the skull Call Alec, or Eric, or someone to get medical But Wait now Ivan stole the van and girl mac, she's got a plan To get miss america on the rooftop Old Arthur, he's the sweetest man Sellin sodas by the can he holds a cane in one hand In the middle of a gymnasium

Don't you think we ought to go Far away, away from here I miss my baby, I miss my mom I miss all the bullshit at the prom I miss your brother and your sister too But that aint about the last thing that I'm going to miss about you San Antonio. Don't you think we ought to go Far away, away from here

The skin on my teeth, it's feeling mighty weak It's not quite baleen and I think it's scalene Do you know what I mean cause I can't stop eating Plankton and hard candy and I'm bleeding I'm in so much pain, give me some novacaine or a spacebag of wine cause you know it'll do the same thing from feral to tame, I'm sedated in my brain and the sutures are contained for now Well rip out all my chains and we'll feel the same and swallow all my teeth and we'll see what's underneath and I'll chew on your thumbs with what's left of my gums and we can have a party in my mouth Well, welcome to the slums that are my gums and we'll enter the blender and I'll wear suspenders and you can remember how we dismembered my mouth for the sake of your fun and a Frown is just a place that sits on your face for me to put some silver and gold and we can go around and cut off other frowns from other faces in other places and we can wear them all around like christmas on a tinsel tree or braces on a friend of thee or an enema in your enemy or butter on your bread like oil on your engine-y or children from your progeny it's our own downtown, upside down frown, DIY Dentistry.

Be careful if you're ever thinkin about coming back Cause you'll never come back from anywhere after that Like this piec of paper and a pen with which I scratch We'll either burn together or live forever in white and black Infantile danger taste your tail til your bones are bent Damage love your mother well with fierce committment Dumpster hold on tight, one day we will reunite And Families in emergencies will sing late into the night Your rosy cheeks on the chopping block beg boyscouts to arouse some colored knives and willing eyes to prepare the old dollhouse black tar and your graveyard jaw will make a fine romance I'll kidnap you and your little shoes and over bodies we will dance.
