Lyrics
16th Ward

Woke up in a ranch house
Only remember turning off the lights
Whispering about stage fright
Blond hair & black lace
Checkerboard linoleum
Under my feet
Bent over the kitchen sink
Closing my eyes
This was a daydream
Of businessmen alike
A stable family life
TV dinners & a hot wife
Lived by a graveyard
Back in the sixteenth ward
We were having a good day
Our neighbors buried themselves in our front yard
They named their dog dixie
Flinched when she barked at me
When we used the back door
Lock it we’ve been robbed before
I’m stealing your cable
And using your wifi
Stole some bank statements
Left town started a new life
