    A family of tragedy.
     

        Richie (Tim Grimm)

        Richie's got the sugar, his Mom's got the 45
        sittin' on her lap, watchin' the smoke rise
        The garage doors' closed and everyone's inside
        Richie's got the sugar, his Mom's got the 45

        Little Louise stepped out of the schoolhouse door
        She watched her Mama park across the road
        She heard her name bein' spoken by a voice she did not know
        Little Louise was tryin' to cross the road

        There's a fire in the kitchen, you're better off outside
        Everybody's yellin', runnin' around, lookin' for a place to hide
        The schoolbus grinds the gears down, and pulls into the drive
        Everybody's runnin', lookin' for a place to hide

        Richie gets the needle 4 or 5 times a week
        The doctor says, "Watch it boy, and be careful what you eat."
        He sits a little closer each night to the tv
        Richie gets the needle 4 or 5 times a week

        Little Louise is lyin' in the cold, cold ground
        Mama's got a bottle of pills, and she's tryin' to wash them down
        Richie's got a seeing-eye dog to lead him around
        Little Louise is lyin' in the cold, cold ground

        There's a fire in the kitchen, you're better off outside
        Everybody's yellin', runnin' around, lookin' for a place to hide
        The schoolbus grinds the gears down, and pulls into the drive
        Everybody's runnin', lookin' for a place to hide
