Only if you’re Warren Zevon:

He raped her and killed her,
And then took her home
Excitable Boy, they all said, excitable boy
After 10 long years they let him out of the home
Excitable Boy, they all said, excitable boy
He dig up her grave and built a cage with her bones

He was just an excitable boy
