lyrics

Young Offenders

Outside with Debbie after dark
She walks us down to
see a murder in the park
Are you Feeling low?
The sky has this iridium glow
I got no particular place to go
Last of the young offenders
Fear me
Count it down
Last of the young offenders


heroin claimed our beauty queen
She’d been at a party she just turned nineteen
She and her guy had a bad fight
Under the bridge in the pale moonlight


Here’s some blood for the new revolution
Here’s some more child prostitution
Swinging from the trees
Like scarecrows in the breeze
Last of the young offenders

Why did want to steal a car
To drive it off the end of the pier
Into water deep and dark
scarier than Debbies Murder Park
Last of the young offenders
Do you want to make an issue
Or a suicide pact
Want to lay some veins in these Motown tracks
Look to you
Count it down we’re almost through
The last of the young offenders
