Lyrics
Policeman came asking me where Katy is
I said she left awhile back with the Frisco Bay Circus
She might’ve spent her summer nights in the whiskey tent as a clown
Living off her fans and five-finger discounts
She probably grew out the hair on her legs and her underarms
Said if you want to be her lover all you need is a humble heart
Thunder in the west she had us begging to be struck like trees
My crazy baby she was right about some things
She left me for a girl who swung on trapeze swings
Swam naked in the bay setting fire to the willows and the weeds
She told the cops she grew up between the devil and the wide pacific
But at least with the devil what’s right ain’t so specific
When she got out she started riots at the Frisco Family Court
Said if you want to be her lover all you need is a humble heart
He said she’s accused of arson and perjury
I said she’s not a liar but she sets fire to things
Thunder in the west she had us begging to be struck like trees
My crazy baby she was right about some things
I heard last night her latest lover laid her down to rest
In the black funeral gown that she wore as a nightdress
Policeman said you should’ve told me that in the first place, now
She ain’t causing any fuss if she’s lying alone in the grave, in the ground
I guess he don’t know there’s like a thousand of her now
Moving round the west coast burning things up and down
He said she’s accused of arson and perjury
I said she’s not a liar but she set fire to me
Thunder in the west she had us begging to be struck like trees
My crazy baby she was right about some things
