Lyrics:

Frankie and Annette ran off at sixteen and it all started at a red sox ball game

In a cracker jack box, Frankie found a ring and said 'how's about making me a man?'

Frankie was just laid off at the store, they said

'Kid, you've got some shit to learn about selling cheese to customers.'

If you're not wrapping it in cellophane you're writing it



It's all about your fifteen seconds

And it's all about walking away from the wreck

It's all about assembling a life from what's left on the streets

Hubcap coffee cups and broken love seats



They took off on the road in fraudulent car

Held a cashier at gunpoint in a Cumberland farms

Got married by a guy who was impersonating a judge

And for twenty-five dollars did house-calls



It's all about your fifteen seconds

And it's all about walking away from the wreck

It's all about assembling a life from what's left on the streets

Hubcap coffee cups and broken love seats



Maybe I’ll buy you a little house down on Grasshopper Street

Nine to five behind a pavoni machine

Then I’ll know you up with a little baby

And we'll name him Martinez



They got caught by the cops when they got to Columbus

'Kids, who is it that put you up to this?'

Frankie said it was fate, Annette said it was love

'Book 'em danno, we got our front page



It's all about your fifteen seconds

And it's all about walking away from the wreck

It's all about assembling a life from what's left on the streets

Hubcap coffee cups and broken love seats

Hubcap coffee cups and broken love seats

Oh, hubcap coffee cups and broken love seats
