Well now, meet me in the bottom

Bring me my right shoes

Well now, meet me in the bottom

Bring me my running shoes

Well, I'll come out the window

I'll won't have time to lose

When you see me streakin by

Please don't be late

When you see me sneakin by

Please don't be late

Well, when you see me moving

Know my life is at stake

Well, I hope you'll see me

I'll come streaking by

Well, I hope you'll see me

When I'll come streaking by

She got a bad old man

You know I'm too young to die

Spoken lines to end

(faint bandmember bkgrd chant thru entire song

not all below)

'Boy, I've got to leave here now'

(hit the road, when you go, close that back door)

'Might be caught and then die'

(when she's caught, then she's stupid, you'll die too)

'I'm not gonna come out from under the house'

'No, I ain't gonna do it no more messin'

~<br />
