lyrics

Kurtis had dipped his last corn dog just before the sun set. The sounds of children laughing, tilt a whirls twirling, and bumper cars crashing no longer excited him. He wanted to escape.

He opened the rusty cart door and stepped into the sand. He looked around for 4 fingered Frankie but couldn't spot him. The coast was clear.

The back of his neck dripped and grit filled his boots as he ran further away from the carnival. The Ferris wheel lights glistened in the distance as he took a quick look behind him. No sign of Frankie. Up ahead, he could hear the rumble and clank of engines passing by. Each car was a vessel that could get him home.

As he approached the dirt road, a truck lurched over the hill about a half mile down.

Kurtis stepped into the truck. The driver was a small eyed man of about 6 or 7 hands. They started on down the road and Kurtis got a funny feeling.

He remembered the sharpened corn dog sticks in his front pocket. All of a sudden the man lunged at him with his free hand. Kurtis drew his weapon and turned him into a corn dog. Blood soaked Kurtis' hands as he took the wheel.
