Ginger dyed her hair red to fit 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 its not so far to go
no its not so far to go to find trouble
A bus rattles downstairs, downtown flying
with a green seat empty and a window cracked
sleepung John snores dreaming oceans and whores
all the while gluing title on basement doors.
Hes Burny Arms brother, Gingers other mate
and its too late to tap the till, the moneys gone
arm holes long locks a house with nothing in it
and its not so far to go to find trouble.
and its not so far to go to find trouble.
A thousand mile handhold might keep the party still
if the holes heal well and the air stays red

a gypsy and a singer in the bone yard.
we walking the moonlight, losing the sign
sleeping John wakes, he doesnt know where he is
a bus stop in up state a bar in New York City

its not so far to go
no, its not so far to go
its not so far to go to find trouble.
