Walking Without Frankie

歌詞

Throttling, hurtling Just going, going And hurting knowing That it's gone, and it's going And not knowing where In the ground or in the air Up the golden stair (Or whatever) It's going I stopped by the Lake Of the Strangled Crane It was the color of copper I saw the crane operator I heard the operator's father Say, "It looks like rain" And I had the operation Because he said he was a doctor And I was in pain "Freedom," or whatever Whatever you call it It's a stairway, or a slow ride It's "Rhiannon" or "Landslide" I heard the bartender died Of a broken heart And a shattered pelvis He was buried in Kansas It was part of a promotion They were trying to undermine The confidence of the consumer Confidence of the consumer The confidence of the consumer The confidence of the consumer The confidence I saw a beautiful drummer In the web of a spider Well I wished I could save him I saw a little boy In serious danger Of getting older And he was trapped sitting shotgun In a Cutlass Cruiser Cruiser When I'm on the street And something's singing in my ear I hear a little voice all thumpthumpthumpthumpthump through my chest I feel the hummingbird-fast heart in there whirring like mad Got a spirit feeling swimming around my head And I haven't even had any cocaine yet And I don't even want any though, I bet It's like some kind of sentence That passes between us That someone else said That someone else said That someone else said I last saw you, Frankie, walking through that New Hampshire dew And when you shot five thousand feet up into the grey sky, well, what could I do? Now I bet you're in space Write me, or whatever I feel so far away Like I'm an old typewriter Out on the showroom floor Like I'm the Last Starfighter And they forgot the war And they burned my trailer And they're on my tail end And I'm out on tour Hey, I want Frankie, I want Frankie I want Frankie, I want Frankie I want Frankie, I want Frankie I want Frankie, I want Frankie I want Frankie, I want Frankie I want Frankie, I want Frankie I want Frankie, I want Frankie I want Frankie, I want Frankie I want Frankie, I want Frankie I want Frankie, I want Frankie I want Frankie, I want Frankie I want Frankie, I want Frankie Oh man, all right
