Lyrics

[00:42.83] Me and a friend went out one night, walkin' in the street
[00:49.53] We talked of God and the end of the world
[00:52.76] I stuck my head in a fire hydrant
[00:55.90]
[00:56.40] The night was cool, It was around the time that the bad ladies come out
[01:02.80] While river rats broke windows and performed unnatural acts
[01:09.20] We walked halfway across the town and sang in an amphitheatre
[01:15.26] Then we walked a little further and admired some graffiti
[01:20.80]
[01:21.66] Dodging cars as we crossed the highway
[01:24.40] We sure must have looked ugly
[01:27.20] My shirt was soaked, the grass was wet
[01:30.16] I stuck head in a fire hydrant
[01:33.10]
[01:33.70] We talked of things in the Good Book while there was a naked lady on TV
[01:39.53] She had no care, she had no shame, she had little propellers on
[01:45.40] My friend, he said "I can't help but look at this naked lady's body."
[01:51.16] I said "Dear friend, you got a dirty mind stick your head in a fire hydrant."
[01:56.76]
[01:57.30] Earlier that evening, I went to a banquet, hoping she might be there
[02:03.26] But she wasn't so I went to this other girl's house who was freaked out on drugs
[02:08.96] So later after that, after the first part of this song, on my way home
[02:15.40] I drove past this other girl's house who would not accept my calls
[02:20.53]
[02:21.26] I noticed she had her light on as I drove slowly by
[02:28.40] I wondered if she noticed me, I stuck my head in a fire hydrant
[02:33.80]
