Vic Chesnutt - Danny Carlisle lyrics

He wanted a tree fort more than anything
Yes he wanted to build and
Defend one on his own
But the neighbor boys BB
Seige was overwhelming
So he won't be building his
Dream tree fort anymore
He received a five-speed
Schwinn for Christmas
So he built a ramp out of plywood and a stump
And at nights he dreamed Evel Knievel
And a canyon to jump in his backyard
Danny Carlisle don't give a
Shit about the contras
Danny Carlisle is barely grown and
He's used up most
Of his options but still he would rather
Dream han fuck once he used a pocket knife
To kill a garter snake
Yes he chopped that evil serpent into fours
And when he raised his eyes
To heaven as a soldier
He wiped the blood of bad snake on his shirt
Danny Carlisle don't give a
Shit about the contras
Danny Carlisle is barely grown and
He's used up most
Of his options but still he would rather
Dream than fuck
