Ginger dyed her hair red to it her name Burny pocked his arms with a pack of camel lights Long sleeves outdoors to keep the kids from crying And ginger climbed the high wire just to make them cheer. Trapeze float in a buttercup parade With clowns and plastic parachutes three red the same Clutched arms fire dropped in a bar in new york city And it's not so far to go to find trouble. A bus rattles downstairs, downtown flying With a green seat empty and a window cracked Sleeping john snores dreaming oceans and whores All the while gluing tile on basement doors. He's burny arms brother, 'ginger's' other mate And it's too late to tap the till, the money's gone Arm holes long locks a house with nothing in it And it's not so far to go to find trouble. A thousand mile handhold might keep the party still If the holes heal well and the hair stays red We'll climb another roof top and scare the crooks away A gypsy and a singer in the bone yard. Walking the moonlight, losing the sign Sleeping john wakes, he doesn't know where he is A bus stop in up state a bar in new york city And it's not so far to go to find trouble.
