Frankie died just the other night.
Some say it was suicide,
but we know
how the story goes
With his six string knife
and his street-wise pride,
the boy was a man before his time
and she knew
all their dreams would come true
But ya see, Frankie was fast,
too fast to know.
He wouldn't go slow
until his lethal dose
and she knows
he'll finally come too close
Well, on with the show,
Going on with the show.
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my...
He was bad,
He was never good.
But one thing that he understood
and she knew
all those lies would come true.
The time has come and
he's paid his dues.
Suzy finally got the news.
She always knew
this day would come soon.
He was stopped on a dime
with a switchblade knife.
Some damn punk went and
took Frankie's life
and she knew
she'd have to pull through.
Broken down, with his broken dreams
with a wink of an eye
said "Suzy, listen to me.
You must go on with the show."
Oh baby
