Frankie Teardrop, The Detective Meets The Space Alien (1976 Demo) Lyrics by Suicide

2008

Frankie Teardrop
The detective
Lived on the Bowery
Blowin’ out his brain
A man came over
And looked at Frankie
He said “I’ll give you ten grand
To kill a man”
Frankie said “Go away, man
I’m trynna forget Vietnam
I killed a hundred people
Now go away”
Frankie Teardrop
Oh Frankie Teardrop
His old lady came on over
She said “Take the job, Frankie
You’ll be a rich man”
Frankie said “Go away”
Oh Frankie Teardrop
The detective
Frankie gonna take the job
‘Cause he needs the money
He’s gonna kill that man
For the C.I.A
He’s gonna kill the spaceman
He’s gonna kill the spaceman
Frankie Teardrop
Oh Frankie Teardrop
Frankie went to the race track
He saw the spaceman at the $10 window
Frankie pointed his gun
Shot the spaceman
Spaceman turned around
“Are you kiddin’?
You ain’t gonna kill me with that thing, buddy
Just look at my eyes”
Frankie Teardrop
Oh Frankie Teardrop
Killed the spaceman
Oh, killed the spaceman
Look at my eyes
You are hypnotized
Look at my eyes, Frankie
Frankie Teardrop
The detective
I’ll take you away from here, Frankie
I’ll take you to my planet
Around the Alpha Centauri
Frankie Teardrop
I’ll make you forget Vietnam
And the hundred people
Frankie Teardrop
I’ll show you a better life
So come on with me
To my planet
Frankie Teardrop
Oh Frankie Teardrop
The detective
They went lookin’ for Frankie
But Frankie was gone
To Alpha Centauri
Frankie Teardrop
Oh Frankie Teardrop
Oh Frankie Teardrop
Frankie Teardrop
The detective
From Alpha Centauri
From Alpha Centauri
Gonna stop the next world war
On the planet earth
Frankie Teardrop
Frankie Teardrop
Look at my eyes
You are hypnotized
Frankie Teardrop
Frankie Teardrop
