Frankie and Annette ran off at sixteen and it all started at a red sox ball game
|
In a cracker jack box, Frankie found a ring and said "how's about making me a man?"
|
Frankie was just laid off at the store, they said
|
"Kid, you've got some shit to learn about selling cheese to customers."
|
If you're not wrapping it in cellophane you're writing it
|
|
It's all about your fifteen seconds
|
And it's all about walking away from the wreck
|
It's all about assembling a life from what's left on the streets
|
Hubcap coffee cups and broken love seats
|
|
They took off on the road in fraudulent car
|
Held a cashier at gunpoint in a Cumberland farms
|
Got married by a guy who was impersonating a judge
|
And for twenty-five dollars did house-calls
|
|
It's all about your fifteen seconds
|
And it's all about walking away from the wreck
|
It's all about assembling a life from what's left on the streets
|
Hubcap coffee cups and broken love seats
|
|
Maybe I¡¯ll buy you a little house down on Grasshopper Street
|
Nine to five behind a pavoni machine
|
Then I¡¯ll know you up with a little baby
|
And we'll name him Martinez
|
|
They got caught by the cops when they got to Columbus
|
"Kids, who is it that put you up to this?"
|
Frankie said it was fate, Annette said it was love
|
"Book 'em danno, we got our front page
|
|
It's all about your fifteen seconds
|
And it's all about walking away from the wreck
|
It's all about assembling a life from what's left on the streets
|
Hubcap coffee cups and broken love seats
|
Hubcap coffee cups and broken love seats
|
Oh, hubcap coffee cups and broken love seats
|
