Lyrics Watching Scotty Die - The Dead Milkmen

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 colours 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 grey he came back coloured 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
