watching scotty die
I've got a kid, his name is Scott He's goin' blind and his blood just will not clot The doctors line in rows To stick tubes up Scotty's nose  There is the field Where Scotty used to play Until Ortho Orange Number 42 Was dumped in it one day  I think it's so funny, I laugh until I cry Just me and God, watchin' Scotty die Just me and God, watchin' Scotty die  The chemical plant across the street Leaves off steam that colors our white sheets It's been happening for years Now I'm crying rainbow tears  One day my dog went out to play Instead of gray, he came back colored yellow The chemical men said, "Stay mellow" It happens all the time, now Scotty's skin is lime  I think it's so funny, I laugh until I cry Just me and God, watchin' Scotty die Just me and God, watchin' Scotty die
