lyrics

For the way she was dressed, I woulda changed my will
My gyroscope was runnin' up the hill
The smoke hid my 'chubby', she swatted my button fly
There's commies in the suburbs, you know they wouldn't lie.
Thank god for indiscretion, in lonely single moms
motor bikes with mufflers, the grave stone of King Kong
Burma back in '43 was just this side of heaven
Double trouble all wrapped up, details at 11.
-----
They just wouldn't wait their turn
-----
My Wall Street week subscriptions being renewed
by the grave yard shift phone girl, wishing she was nude
She had my special battery, she swore she never tried
But the all-night teller booth was open from inside.
I almost met ol' Malcom X, before he found his way
The river boats were smuggling arms, donuts and decay
Those things he said all rang true, a flat without a jack
I picked her up, she chained me down, my deja ve went black
Kim bought his wise blood at G-squared's place
It always brings to mind that first time I got maced
It's just across the highway where the sonic used to stand
The colored kids sold lemonade and shot their rubber bands
----
They just wouldn't wait their turn...
-----
Sophia was a bigamist, she like to eat French food
She squandered all her winnings on a Danish guy named Zood
HIs eyepatch keep slipping, exposed his freezer burn
He claimed he was at Woodstock but wouldn't wait his turn
He just wouldn't wait his turn...
