Tina sees the people no one else can see Tina invites her friends upstairs for tea She sits and cries Through misty eyes Lays out her sugar and cream Tina she don't want to lose out on her dream
Tina used to walk alone down by the shore Tina now she don't walk there anymore By rusty wrecks And the smell of sex don't know what made her change her mind Tina darling whatever did you find?
Let's go down to the river Let's swim out to the sea We might drown in the ocean Or we might live to be free
And I don't know how the folks can say That there ain't no fire in the kids today And I don't know why you let the word go round That there's nothing doing in Tina's town
Tina inside on a sunny afternoon Tina her daddy's gonna be back soon Layin' down the law With an old chainsaw He's all bent out of shape today Tina tells her little friends to hide away
Tina tells her friends to come upstairs and play Tina tells them to make her daddy go away Laugh through the halls Blood on the walls Turning into ashes by and by Tina tells her little friends to say good-bye
