Copper on the corner and he loaded two rounds
And I can’t even get inside to talk you down
Peter, sweet baby, where’d you get that gun?
You spend half your life trying to turn the other half around

And I tried to come clean, but I guess it’s no use
Your face is all over six o’clock news
They cleared the street and then they closed the schools
I can’t even get inside

Did you lose your head when the farm went down?
Was is when your daddy died after he moved to town
And I know your momma calls you good for nothing
She says her baby is a failer and she don’t want you calling

Peter, sweet baby, there’s something I need to say to you
Gonna have your baby this coming June
We could get a little place down by Gilmour park
You could do a little time and save my broken heart

And I tried to come clean, but I guess it’s no use
Copper when ahead and he just shot you through
Now you’re lying dead on the avenue
And I can’t feel my broken heart

Wanda had a baby in nineteen fifty one.
The father was stranger and a stranger was the son.
Call that child james lewis, call these rooms a home.
Changing all them diapers polish all that chrome.
C’mon, baby, spend the night with me

All around the schoolyard playing all the games
Running, laughing back and forth the kid with two first names
Stranger in the closet, lock the diary
The past is running faster singing harmony
C’mon, baby, spend the night with me

"god bless this kitchen" said the knick-knack shelf
"the dinner’s almost ready go and wash yourself"
Jimmy’s growing up now and wanda’s growing old
The time is growin’ shorter the nights are long and cold
C’mon, baby, spend the night with me

Sneaking in the closet and through the diary
Now, don’t you know all he saw was all there was to see
The whole town saw jimmy on the six o’clock news
His brains were on the sidewalk and blood was on his shoes
C’mon, baby, spend the night with me
C’mon, baby, spend the night with me
