Arnie and Bill to the Rescue

[Verse 1]
She said, “I'd riot”, when she heard about Elijah
She cried, a little shy then
Choking on the obscene in the open
I put my hand out like a puppet
Inside I was wooden and repugnant

[Chorus]
I said, Arnie and Bill, Arnie and Bill to the rescue
Arnie and Bill, Arnie and Bill to the rescue
Arnie and Bill this time

[Verse 2]
Later on I made her cry again, when I told of the night that Arnie died and
The ambulance wouldn't touch him
So the whole household bеgan erupting
All that was left in the dеlirium
Were the stars that had always been above him

[Chorus]
I said, Arnie and Bill, Arnie and Bill to the rescue
Arnie and Bill, Arnie and Bill to the rescue
Arnie and Bill this time

[Verse 3]
When the lights went out that evening, we were two children who believed in
A world so endless and extravagant
So vast we barely did inhabit it
Without the reckless understanding
Someday even we would abandon it

[Chorus]
I said, Arnie and Bill, Arnie and Bill to the rescue
Arnie and Bill, Arnie and Bill to the rescue
Arnie and Bill this time
