Lyrics
God said don't give me your Tin horn prayers Don't buy roses off the street down there Took it all and took the dirt road home Dreaming of Jenny with the light brown hair Night is falling like a bloody axe Lies and rumors and the wind at my back Hand on the wheel gravel on the road Will the pawn shop sell me back what I sold
I'm gonna take the sins of my father I'm gonna take the sins of my mother I'm gonna take the sins of my brother Down to the pond
Birds cry warning from a hidden branch Carving out a future with a gun and an axe I'm way beyond the gavel and the laws of man Still living in the palm of the grace of your hand The worlds not easy the blind man said Turns on nothing but money and dread Dogs been scratching at the door all nite Long neck birds flying out of the moon light
I'm gonna take the sins of my father I'm gonna take the sins of my mother I'm gonna take the sins of my brother Down to the pond
Smack dab in the middle of a dirty lie The star spangled glitter of his one good eye Everybody knows that the game was rigged Justice wears suspenders and a powdered wig Dark town alleys been hiding you Long bell tolling is your waterloo Oh baby what can you do Does the light of god blind you Or lead the way home for you?
I'm gonna take the sins of my father I'm gonna take the sins of my mother I'm gonna take the sins of my brother Down to the pond
God all mighty for righteousness sake Humiliation of our fallen state Written in the book of tubold Cain A long black over coat will show no stain Feel the heat and the burn on your back The rip and the moan and the stretch of the rack All my belongings in a flour sack Will the place I come from Take me back
I'm gonna take the sins of my father I'm gonna take the sins of my mother I'm gonna take the sins of my brother Down to the pond
They'll hang me in the morning on a scaffold yea big To dance upon nothing to the tyborn jig Treats you like a puppet when your under its spell Oh the heart is heaven But the mind is hell Jesus of Nazareth told Mike of the weeds I's born at this time for a reason you see When I'm dead I'll be dead a long time But the wines so pleasing and so sublime
I'm gonna take the sins of my father I'm gonna take the sins of my mother I'm gonna take the sins of my brother Down to the pond
Kissed my sweetheart by the chinaball tree Everything I done is between God and me Only he will judge how my time was spent 29 days of sinning and 40 to repent the horse is steady but the horse is blind wicked are the branches on the tree of mankind the roots grow upward and the branches grow down its much too late to throw the dice again I've found
I'm gonna take the sins of my father I'm gonna take the sins of my mother I'm gonna take the sins of my brother Down to the pond
I'm gonna wash them I'm gonna wash them I'm gonna wash the sins of my Father I'm gonna wash the sins of my Mother I'm gonna wash the sins of my Brother Till the water runs clear Till the water runs clear

Lyrics
Lay your head where My heart used to be Hold the earth above me Lay down in the green grass Remember when you loved me
Come closer don't be shy Stand beneath a rainy sky The moon is over the rise Think of me as a train goes by Clear the thistles and brambles Whistle didn't he ramble Now there's a bubble of me And its floating in thee Stand in the shade of me Things are now made of me The weather vane will say It smells like rain today God took the stars and he Tossed 'em can't tell The birds from the blossoms You'll never be free of me He'll make a tree from me Don't say good bye to me Describe the sky to me And if the sky falls mark My words – we'll catch mocking birds
Lay your head where My heart used to be Hold the earth above me Lay down in the green grass Remember when you loved me

Strip Poker Motel Got a small blue tail Hot ice, cold cash I never been no good at Staying out of jail Wheel spin, roulette Who's giving, don't get Ripped shirt, black eye Tuxedo, bow tie Dark sound, straight road Get lost, get loaded Enlisted men, off duty Stolen clouds, dark beauty Cold gun, wild rose Night clerk, door closed Lie down baby Your love is a faucet ahhhh Called China, cell phone Chun King, not home You know I feel like a Preacher waving a gun around
Shake it Shake it Shake it baby Shake it Shake it Shake it now
Shake it Shake it Shake it baby Shake it Shake it Shake it now
Outside, it's damp Put a towel on that lamp You look hot in this Light I can love you all night Shoes off, hair down Got a pink night gown Mike Tyson, KO'ed On the wild, blue road Small town, straight road That rooster, done crowed Flat tire, homemade cross You know I feel like a Preacher waving a gun around

Lyrics
Long way going to Get my medicine Sky's the autumn grey of A lonely wren Piano from a window played Gone tomorrow, gone Yesterday I found it in the street At first I did not see Lying at my feet a Trampled rose Passing the hat in church It never stops going round You never pay just once To get the job done What I done to me, I done To you, What happened to The trampled rose? In the muddy street, with The fireworks and leaves A blind man with a cup I asked Would he play "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" I know that rose like I Know my name, the One I gave my love It was the same, now I find it in the street A trampled rose

Lyrics
We put up our tent on a dark Green knoll, outside of town by The train tracks and a seagull dump Topping the bill was Horse Face Ethel And her Marvelous Pigs in satin We pounded our steaks in the ground All powder brown And the branches spread like scary Fingers reaching – we Were in a pasture in Kankakee And one eyed Myra, the queen of The galley who trained the Ostrich and the camels She looked at me squinty with her One good eye in a Roy Orbison t-shirt as she bottle fed an Orangutan named Tripod and then there was Yodeling Elaine the Queen of the air who wore a Dollar sign medallion and she Had a tiny bubble of spittle Around her nostril and a Little rusty tear, for she had Lassoed and lost another Tipsy sailor and over in The burnt yellow tent By the frozen tractor, the Music was like electric sugar And Zuzu Bolin played "Stavin' Chain" and Mighty Tiny on the saw and he Threw his head back with a Mouth full of gold teeth And they played lopsided heart And moon over Dog Street and By the time they played Moanin Low I was soakin wet and wild eyed And Doctor Bliss slipped me a Preparation and I fell asleep with Livery Stable Blues in my ear And me and Molly Hoey drank Pruno and Koolaid she had a Tattoo gun made out of a cassette Motor and a guitar string and she soaked a hanky in 3 roses and rubbed it on the spot and she drew a rickety heart and a bent arrow and it hurt like hell and Funeral Wells spun Poodle Murphy on the target As he threw his hardware, only Once in Sheboygan did he miss At a matinee on Diamond Pier and She'd never let him forget it They were doing two shows and she Had a high fever and he took Off a piece of her ear and Tip Little told her she should Leave the bum but Poodle said, "he fetched me Last time I run" and I'd Like to hammer this ring into A bullet and I wish I Had some whiskey and a gun My dear, I wish I had some Whiskey and a gun my dear

Lyrics
Are you ready, are you ready Knocky Parker told Bowlegged Sal They all know how to kick it in Cal They're playing this dope and this money tune Dancing baby with a 7 mile broom Things are bulging out the rafters Like hell Dddddown there at the Hush Hotel They're jumping right out of their Seats, dancing to the bran' new beat
The floor is polished and you Momma's gone You can quake and roll and moan 29 gypsies in a Cadillac stoned Turn off the ringer on your cellular phone Whip the air like a Rainbow Trout Drag your tail pipe till you bottom out
The low bottom of the china moon The black swan and the way too soon Ace pocket and the dog bone gone The peacock and the mean black swan The rain shower and high heeled shoe Bombay money and I know I can do it The sink hole and the victory dance Its in the pocket in the real tight pants
Ddddo the Metropolitan Glide Ddddo the Metropolitan Glide
Show your teeth bray like a calf You kill me with your machine gun laugh You make me trouble with the floor That's creaking I've been ready to ka boom for a week Put on your stockings and your powder and blush Keep it all on the hush, hush, hush

Lyrics
New corn yellow and slaughterhouse red The birds keep singing Baby after your dead I'm gonna miss you plenty Big old world With our abalone earrings And your mother of pearl
Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only goin I'm, only goin I'm only goin to the top Of the hill
I need your moon to be the sky Sky against Don't get your trouser button Stuck on the fence Diego red and bedlam money are fine Why don't you come up here And see me sometime
Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only goin I'm, only goin I'm only goin to the top Of the hill
There's very little leeway I seen a mattress on the freeway The moon rises over Dog Street Jefferson said every things reet Have all the lights burned Out on heaven again I'll never roll the number 7 again
I'm made of bread and I'm on an Ocean of wine I hear all the birdies On the phone just fine
Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only goin I'm, only goin I'm only goin to the top Of the hill
Black joke and the bean soup Big sky and the Ford Coupe Old maid and the dry bones Red Rover and the Skinny Bones Jones 47 mules to pull this train We're getting married In the pouring rain You need your differential and Plenty of oil You load the wagon till The end of the world
Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only goin I'm only goin I'm only goin to the top Of the hill
What's your throttle made of Is it money or bone Don't doddle or you'll Never get home Opium, fireworks, vodka and meat Scoot over and save me a seat
Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only goin I'm, only goin I'm only goin to the top Of the hill
If I had it all to do all Over again I'd try to rise above the law of man Why don' cha gimme nother Sip of your cup Turn a Rolls Royce into a Chicken coup, uh huh
Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only goin I'm, only goin I'm only goin to the top Of the hill

Lyrics
Well I learned the trade From Piggy Knowles and Sing Sing Tommy Shay Boys god used me as hammer boys To beat his weary drum today
Hoist that rag Hoist that rag
The sun is up the world is flat Damn good address for a rat The smell of blood The drone of flies You know what to do if The baby cries
Hoist that rag Hoist that rag
Well we stick our fingers in The ground, heave and Turn the world around Smoke is blacking out the sun At night I pray and clean my gun The cracked bell rings as The ghost bird sings and the gods Go begging here So just open fire As you hit the shore All is fair in love And war
Hoist that rag Hoist that rag Hoist that rag Hoist that rag

Lyrics
She was a middle class girl In over her head She thought she could Stand up in the deep end He had a bullet proof smile He had money to burn She thought she had the moon In her pocket...
But now she's dead She's so dead forever Dead and lovely now
I've always been told to Remember this Don't let a fool kiss you Never marry for love He was hard to impress He knew everyone's secrets He wore her on his arm Just like jewelry He never gave but he got He kept her on a leash He's not the kind of wheel You fall asleep at
But now she's dead She's so dead Forever dead and Lovely now
Come closer look deep You've fallen fast Just like a plane on a Stormy sea She made up someone to be She made up somewhere to Be from This is one business in the World where that's no Problem at all Every thing that is left They will only plow under Soon every one you know Will be gone
But now she's dead She's so dead Forever dead and Lovely now
I've always been told to Remember this Don't let a kiss fool you Never marry for love Now they're all watching The sea What's lost can never be broken Her roots were sweet But they were shallow
But now she's dead She's so dead Forever dead and Lovely now

Lyrics
She took all my money And my best friend You know the story Here it comes again I have no pride I have no shame You gotta make it rain Since you gone Deep inside it hurts I'm just another sad Guest on this dark earth I want to believe in the Mercy of the world again Make it rain, make it rain The nite's too quiet Stretched out alone I need the whip of thunder And the winds dark moan I'm not Able, I'm just Cain Open up the heavens Make it rain I'm close to heaven Crushed at the gate They sharpen their knives On my mistakes What she done you can't Give it a name Just make it rain With out her love With out your kiss Hell can't burn me More than this I'm burning up all this pain Open up the heavens Make it rain I'm born to trouble I'm born to fate Inside a Promise I can't escape It's the same old world But nothing looks the same Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain

Lyrics
Don't go into that barn, yea Don't go into that barn, yea
Black cellophane sky at midnite Big blue moon with three gold rings I called Champion to the window And I pointed up above the trees That's when I heard my name in a scream Coming from the woods, out there I let my dog run off the chain I locked my door real good with a chair
Don't go into that barn, yea Don't go into that barn, yea
Everett Lee broke loose again Its worse than the time before Cause he's high on potato and tulip wine Fermented in the muddy rain of course A drunken wail a drunken train Blew through the birdless trees Oh, you're alone alright Your alone alright How did I know How did I know
Don't go into that barn, yea Don't go into that barn, yea
An old black tree Scratching up the sky With boney, claw like fingers A rusty black rake Digging up the turnips Of a muddy cold grey sky Shiny tooth talons Coiled for grabbing a stranger Happening by And the day went home early And the sun sank down into The muck of a deep dead sky
Don't go into that barn, yea Don't go into that barn, yea
Back since Saginaw Calinda was born It's been cotton, soybeans, tobacco and corn Behind the porticoed house of a Long dead farm They found the falling down timbers Of a spooky old barn Out there like a slave ship Upside down Wrecked beneath the waves of grain When the river is low They find old bones and When they plow they always Dig up chains
Don't go into that barn, yea Don't go into that barn, yea
Did you bury your fire? Yes sir Did you cover your tracks? Yes sir Did you bring your knife? Yes sir Did they see your face? No sir Did the Mom see you? No sir Did you go cross the river? Yes sir Did you fix your rake? Yes sir Did you stay down wind? Yes sir Did you hide your gun? Yes sir Did you smuggle your rum? Yes sir How did I know How did I know How did I know
Don't go into that barn, yea Don't go into that barn, yea Don't forget that I warned you Don't go into that barn, yea Don't go into that barn, yea Don't go into that barn, yea No shirt no coat Put me on a flat boat Dover, down to Covington Covington to Louisville Louisville to Henderson Henderson to Smithland Smithland to Memphis Down to Vicksburg to Natchez put me on a Flat boat Dover Dam To Covington, Covington to Louisville, Louisville to Henderson....

Lyrics
He had 3 whole dollars A worn out car And a wife who was Leaving for good Life's made of trouble Worry pain and struggle She wrote good bye in The dust on the hood They found a map of Missouri Lipstick on the glass They must of left In the middle of the nite
And I want to know The same thing Everyone wants to know How it going to end?
Behind a smoke colored Curtain, the girl Disappeared, they found out The ring was a fake A tree born crooked Will never grow straight She sunk like a hammer into the lake A long lost letter and And old leaky boat Promises are never meant To keep
And I want to know The same thing Everyone wants to know How it going to end?
The barn leaned over The vultures dried their wings The moon climbed up an empty sky The sun sank down behind the tree On the hill There's a killer and he's coming Thru the rye But maybe he's the Father Of that lost little girl It's hard to tell in this light
And I want to know The same thing Everyone wants to know How it going to end? Drag your wagon and your plow Over the bones of the dead Out among the roses and the weeds You can never go back And the answer is no And wishing for it only Makes it bleed
Joel Tornabene was broken On the wheel Shane and Bum Mahoney on the lamb The grain was as gold As Sheila's hair All the way from Liverpool With all we could steal He was robbed of twenty dollars His body found stripped Cast into the harbour There and drowned
And I want to know The same thing Everyone wants to know How it going to end?
The sirens are snaking their Way up the hill It's last call somewhere in The world The reptiles blend in with the Color of the street Life is sweet at the edge Of a razor And down in the front row of An old picture show The old man is asleep As the credits start to roll
And I want to know The same thing Everyone wants to know How it going to end?

Lyrics
I got your letter today And I miss you all so much here I can't wait to see you all And I'm counting the days dear I still believe that there's gold At the end of the world and I'll Come home to Illinois on the Day after tomorrow Its so hard and its cold here And I'm tired of taking orders And I miss old Rockford town Up by the Wisconsin border What I miss you won't believe Shoveling snow and raking leaves And my plane will touch down On the day after tomorrow I close my eyes every nite And I dream that I can hold you They fill us full of lies, everyone buys Bout what it means to Be a soldier, I still don't Know how I'm supposed to feel bout All the blood that's been spilled Will God on this throne Get me back home On the day after tomorrow You can't deny, the other side
Don't want to die anymore Then we do, what I'm Trying to say is don't they pray To the same God that we do? And Tell me how does God Choose, who's prayers does he Refuse? who turns the wheel Who rolls the dice, on the Day after tomorrow I'm not fighting for justice I am not fighting for freedom I am fighting for my life and Another day in the world here I just do what I've been told We're just the gravel on the road And only the lucky ones come Home, on the day after tomorrow And the summer it too Will fade and with it Brings the winter's frost dear And I know we too are made Of all the things that we have Lost here, I'll be 21 today I been saving all my pay And my plane will touch down On the day after tomorrow

Well I stood on the corner Til my feet got wet I stood by the faucet Till the sink filled up I stood by the window Till the moon came up My baby bought a ticket Long as my clothes line Na na na na na My baby went and left me In a '49 Ford Going down the highway in a 49 sword my baby ripped my heart out with every turn of the moon somebody told me there's never been a rose without a thorn na na na na na na na na na na na na
And if I was a tree I'd be a cut down tree And if I was a bed I'd be an unmade bed I'll get my 32/20 and it'll Have to do Na na na na na na Gone like the wind in The meadow And the rain on the hill You even left your lipstick And your powder and your blush Baby gonna leave me On a Grey Hound Bus The stars are melting All across the sky Na na na na na I let the dog out But he didn't come back Stood on the corner till My feet got wet Baby gonna leave me in a 49 Ford I stood by the window Till the moon came up Na na na na na Na na na na na

LYRICS Molly be damned smote Jimmy the Harp With a horrid little pistol and a lariat she's goin to the bottom and she's goin down the drain Said she wasn't big enough to carry it
Well the rampaging sons of the widow James Jack the cutter and the pock marked kid Had to stand naked at the bottom Of the cross And tell the good lord what they did Tell the good lord what they did
They had to get behind the Mule in the morning and plow Had to get behind the Mule in the morning and plow They had to get behind the Mule in the morning and plow Get behind the Mule in the morning and plow
Jesus of Nazareth told Mike of the Weeds Was born at this time for a reason And when I'm dead I'll be dead a long time But the wine is so red and so pleasin'
Big Jack Earl was 8'1' He stood in the road and he cried He couldn't make her love him Couldn't make her stay but tell the good Lord that he tried
Had to get behind the Mule in the morning and plow Had to get behind the Mule in the morning and plow Got to get behind the Mule in the morning and plow Get behind the Mule in the morning and plow
Choppity chop goes the axe in the woods You gotta meet me by the fall down tree Shovel of dirt upon a coffin lid I know they'll come lookin for me boys I know they'll come a-lookin for me
The dusty trail from Atchison to Placerville Saw the wreck of the Weaverville stage A Yankee traitor drinkin' old lemonade I was stirring my brandy with a nail
Someday I have to get behind the Mule in the morning and plow I have to get behind the Mule in the morning and plow I have to get behind the Mule in the morning and plow Get behind the Mule in the morning and plow

#tomwaitsTom Waits – Glitter and Doom Concert Experience (2008)Tom Waits2024-03-14 | A compilation of professional footage and fan films to reconstruct an entire Tom Waits concert from his "Glitter and Doom Tour" of 2008. I used all the released soundboard audio that had footage to accompany it to make a concert film that should make a good experience of what it would have been like being in the audience.
SETLIST 0:00 (Opening) - Ain't Goin' Down to the Well/ Lucinda 6:09 Goin' Out West 10:06 God's Away On Business 13:46 Hoist That Rag 20:26 Get Behind The Mule 27:14 Chocolate Jesus 31:34 Falling Down 35:56 (Interlude) Circus 41:20 Trampled Rose 46:33 Singapore 51:49 Jesus Gonna Be Here 57:05 Cemetery Polka 1:00:05 Green Grass 1:03:45 Hold On 1:09:24 The Part You Throw Away 1:16:02 Eyeball Kid 1:22:02 Dirt in the Ground 1:27:34 Tom talks 1:30:03 Picture in a Frame 1:32:23 Innocent When You Dream 1:37:15 Lost in the Harbor 1:41:36 (Closing) Make It Rain
The soundboard audio comes partly from Tom's "Glitter and Doom" album from 2009, and also NPR's broadcast of the soundboard of the Atlanta 2008 show from the tour.
There might be more unreleased professional footage out there of this tour, so we have to hope that it is released eventually.

Well, my time went so quickly I went lickety-splitly out to my ol' fifty-five As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy God knows I was feeling alive
Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck Freeway cars and trucks Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer Oh Lord, let me tell you that the feeling getting stronger
And it's six in the morning Gave me no warning, I had to be on my way Well, there's trucks all a-passing me, and the lights all a-flashin' I'm on my way home from your place
And now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck Freeway cars and trucks Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer Oh Lord, let me tell you the feeling getting stronger
And my time went so quickly I went lickety-splitly out to my ol' fifty-five As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy God knows I was feeling alive

LYRICS Blow Wind Blow Lyrics Blow wind blow Wherever you'll be goin' Put on your overcoat Take me away You gotta take me on into the night Take me on into the night Blow me away Blow me away Mary's on blacktop There's a husband in the dog house In the middle of a shakedown I got quiet as a church mouse She found Raleigh's on the dashboard Sugar Daddy caught a polocar There's no solitary tap dance way out of here
Blow wind blow Put on your overcoat Put on your overcoat Take me into the night Take me into the night Blow me away
I ride upon a field mouse I was dancin' in the slaughterhouse And if you swing along the beltway You skid along there all day 'Cause I went a little crazy And I sat upon a highchair And I'm smokin' like a diesel Way out here
If you go in low Wherever you been goin' Put on your overcoat Take me away You gotta take me on into the night Take me on into the night Blow me away Blow me away You gotta blow me away Blow me away Yeah

Well, I'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn Nobody's up except the moon and me And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree And all that you left me was a melody
Rosie, why do you evade me? Rosie, how can I persuade thee? Rosie
And the moon's all up, full and big Apricot tips in an indigo sky And I've been loving you, Rosa, since the day I was born And I'll love you, Rosie, 'til the day I die
Rosie, why do you evade me? Rosie, how can I persuade thee? Rosie
Rosie, why do you evade me? Rosie, how can I persuade thee? Rosie
And I'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn Nobody's up except the moon and me And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree All that you left me was a melody

#tomwaits #closingtimeTom Waits Interviews from The Beauty of The Mysterious, a Robert Wilson ARTE DocumentaryTom Waits2023-07-14 | Tom Waits Interviews from "The Beauty of The Mysterious," a Robert Wilson ARTE Documentary
Tom Waits sat down for a rare interview to talk about the stage director Robert Wilson in the recent French/German ARTE documentary; "The Beauty of the Mysterious".
Waits has collaborated with Wilson in three theatre plays; The Black Rider (1990), Alice (1992) and Woyzeck (2000). This interview is a retrospective on that collaboration.
Waits wrote the music for these plays and later featured some of the music in arrangements recorded for the studio albums; The Black Rider (1993) (from the play of the same name), Alice (2002) (from the play of the same name) and Blood Money (2002) (from the play Woyzeck).
About "The Beauty of The Mysterious": "We look back at more than half a century of mysterious artistic creation while trying to crack a unique artistic code. Why are people moved to tears when Robert “Bob” Wilson puts minimalistic petrol pumps into a production of Shakespeare’s sonnets? Why does merciless repetition change our understanding of something? Together with Tom Waits, Willem Dafoe or Marina Abramović we trace back our own experience of Bob’s art. Is it true what Philipp Glass the collaborator of the milestone piece “Einstein on the Beach” laughingly and with apparent pleasure exclaims “what does it mean? It doesn’t mean anything!”?"

Footage is a clip from Edouard Locke's Film Amelia, featuring footage of the dance troupe LaLa La Human Steps from Quebec, Canada. Dancers: Naomi Stikeman and Jason Shipley-Homes
LYRICS Last night I dreamed that I was dreaming of you and from a window across the lawn I watched you undress wearing a sunset of purple tightly woven around your hair that rose in strangled ebony curls moving in a yellow Bedroom light The air is wet with sound The faraway yelping of a wounded dog and the ground is drinking a slow faucet leak Your house is so soft and fading as it soaks the black summer heat a light goes on and a door opens and yellow cat runs out on the stream of hall light and into the yard
a wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air I hear your champagne laugh you wear two lavender orchids one in your hair and one on your hip a string of yellow carnival lights comes on with the dusk circling the lake in a slowly dipping halo and I hear a Banjo tango
and you dance into the shadow of a Black Poplar Tree I watch you as you disappear I watch you as you disappear I watch you as you disappear

LYRICS Well, my time went so quickly I went lickety-splitly out to my ol' fifty-five As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy God knows I was feeling alive
Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck Freeway cars and trucks Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer Oh Lord, let me tell you that the feeling getting stronger
And it's six in the morning Gave me no warning, I had to be on my way Well, there's trucks all a-passing me, and the lights all a-flashin' I'm on my way home from your place
And now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck Freeway cars and trucks Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer Oh Lord, let me tell you the feeling getting stronger
And my time went so quickly I went lickety-splitly out to my ol' fifty-five As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy God knows I was feeling alive

LYRICS
Misery's the River of the World Misery's the River of the World
The higher that the monkey can climb the more he shows his tail Call no man happy ëtil he dies There's no milk at the bottom of the pail
God builds a church The devil builds a chapel Like the thistles that are growing ëround the trunk of a tree All the good in the world You can put inside a thimble And still have room for you and me
If there's one thing you can say About Mankind There's nothing kind about man You can drive out nature with a pitch fork But it always comes roaring back again
Misery's the River of the World Misery's the River of the World Misery's the River of the World
For want of a bird The sky was lost For want of a nail A shoe was lost For want of a life A knife was lost For want of a toy A child was lost
Misery's the River of the World Misery's the River of the World Everybody Row! Everybody Row! Misery's the River of the World Misery's the River of the World Everybody Row! Everybody Row! Everybody Row!

LYRICS
Round the curve of The Parrot Bar A broken-down old movie star Hustling and Easterner Bringing out the beast in her A high dive in a swimming pool Filled with needles and with fools The memories are short but the tales are long Down there on the Reeperbahn
They called her Rosie when she was a girl For her bright red cheeks and her strawberry curls When she would laugh the river would run She said she'd become a comedian Oh what a pity, oh what a shame When she said come calling, nobody came Now her bright red cheeks are painted on And she's laughing her head off in the Reeperbahn
Now little Hans was always strange Wearing women's under things His father beat him but he wouldn't change He ran off with a man one day Now his lingerie is all the rage In the black on every page His father proudly calls his name Down there in the Reeperbahn
Now if you've lost your inheritance And all you've left is common sense And you're not too picky about the crowd you keep Or the mattress where you sleep Behind every window, behind every door The apple is gone but there's always the core The seeds will sprout up right through the floor Down there in the Reeperbahn Down there in the Reeperbahn

LYRICS
You dance real slow You wreck it down You walk away, then you turn around What did that old blonde gal say? That is the part... You throw away
I want that beggars eyes a winning horse a tidy Mexican divorce St. Mary's prayers Houdini's Hands and a Barman who always understands
Will you loose the flowers hold on to the vase Will you wipe all those teardrops away from your face I can't help thinking as I close the door I have done all of this many times before
The bone must go The wish can stay The kiss don't know What the lips will say Forget I've hurt you Put stones in your bed and remember to never mind instead
Well all of your letters Burned up in the fire Time is just memory mixed in with Desire That's not the road it is Only the map...I say gone just like matches from a closed down cabaret
In a Portuguese Saloon a fly is circling around the room You'll soon forget the tune that you play For that is the part You throw away oh that is the part You throw away

LYRICS
It's dreamy weather we're on You wave your crooked wand Along an icy pond With a frozen moon A murder of silhouette crows I saw... And the tears on my face And the skates on the pond they spell Alice
I'll disappear in your name But you must wait for me Somewhere beneath the sea There's the wreck of a ship Your hair is like meadow grass On the tide And the raindrops on my window And the ice in my drink Baby, all that I can think of Is Alice
Arithmetic Arithmetock I turn the hands back on the clock How does the ocean rock the boat How did the razor find my throat The only strings that hold me here Are tangled up around the pier
And so a secret kiss Brings madness with the bliss And I will think of this When I'm dead in my grave Set me adrift and I'm lost over there But I must be insane To go skating on your name And by tracing it twice I fell through the ice Of Alice There's only Alice
I'd sell your heart to the junkman baby For a buck, for a buck If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch You're out of luck, you're out of luck
The ship is sinking The ship is sinking The ship is sinking
There's leak, there's a leak, in the boiler room The poor, the lame, the blind Who are the ones that we kept in charge Killers, thieves, and lawyers
God's Away, God's away God's away on Business. Business. God's Away, God's Away God's Away on Business. Business.
Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick It's a job, it's a job Bloody moon rising with a plague and a flood Join the mob, join the mob It's all over, It's all over, It's all over
There's a leak, there's a leak, in the boiler room The poor, the lame, the blind Who are the ones that we kept in charge? Killers, thieves, and lawyers God's away, God's away, God's away On Business. Business. God's away, God's away, God's away On Business.
Goddamn there's always such a big temptation To be good, To be good There's always free cheddar in a mousetrap, baby It's a deal, it's a deal God's away, God's away, God's away On Business. Business.
I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby, Let her ring, let her ring
God's Away, God's Away God's Away on Business. Business...

LYRICS
Bougainvillea's bloom and wind Be careful mind the strangle vines The rose is climbing over blind Cause the sun is on the other side The bees will find their honey The sweetest every time
Around a Red Rose I see a red rose, a red rose Blooming on another man's vine
Golden Willie's gone to war He left his young wife on the shore Will she be steadfast everyday? While Golden Willie is far away Along the way her letters end She never reads what Willie sends
Now I see a red rose I smell a red rose A red rose Blooming on another man's vine
#tomwaits #aliceTom Waits - Burma-Shave (Live in Paris, 1979)Tom Waits2022-09-13 | Tom Waits performs "Burma-Shave" from the album 'Foreign Affairs' live at Theatre De L'Empir in Paris, France on May 06, 1979.
Licorice tattoo turned a gun metal blue Scrawled across the shoulders of a dying town Took the one eyed jacks across the railroad tracks And the scar on its belly pulled a stranger passing through He's a juvenile delinquent never learned how to behave But the cops would never think to look in Burma-Shave
And the road was like a ribbon and the moon was like a bone He didn't seem to be like any guy she'd ever known He kind of looked like Farley Granger with his hair slicked back She says I'm a sucker for a fella in a cowboy hat How far are you going? Said Depends on what you mean He says I'm only stopping here to get some gasoline I guess I'm going thataway just as long as it's paved And I guess you'd say I'm on my way to Burma Shave
And with her knees up on the glove compartment She took out her barrettes and her hair spilled out like root beer And she popped her gum and arched her back Hell Marysville ain't nothing but a wide spot in the road Some nights my heart pounds like thunder Don't know why it don't explode Cause everyone in this stinking town's got one foot in the grave And I'd rather take my chances out in Burma Shave
Presley's what I go by why don't you change the stations Count the grain elevators in the rearview mirror She said mister anywhere you point this thing It got to beat the hell out of the sting Of going to bed with every dream that dies here every mornin And so drill me a hole with a barber pole And I'm jumping my parole just like a fugitive tonight Why don't you have another swig and pass that car if you're so brave I wanna get there before the sun comes up in Burma Shave
And the spider web crack and the mustang screamed The smoke from the tires and the twisted machine Just a nickel's worth of dreams and every wishbone that they saved Lie swindled from them on the way to Burma Shave
And the sun hit the derrick and cast a bat wing shadow Up against the car door on the shotgun side And when they pulled her from the wreck You know she still had on her shades They say that dreams are growing wild Just this side Of Burma Shave

Well I'm goin' out west Where the wind blows tall 'Cause Tony Franciosa Used to date my ma They got some money out there They're giving it away I'm gonna do what I want And I'm gonna get paid Do what I want And I'm gonna get paid
Little brown sausages Lying in the sand I ain't no extra baby I'm a leading man Well, my parole officer Will be proud of me With my Olds 88 And the devil on a leash
I know karate, Voodoo too I'm gonna make myself available to you I don't need no make up I got real scars I got hair on my chest I look good without a shirt
Well I don't lose my composure In a high speed chase Well my friends think I'm ugly I got a masculine face I got some dragstrip courage I can really drive a bed I'm gonna change my name to Hannibal Or maybe just Rex
I know karate, Voodoo too I'm gonna make myself available to you I don't need no make up I got real scars I got hair on my chest I look good without a shirt
I'm gonna drive all night Take some speed I'm gonna wait for the sun To shine down on me I cut a hole in my roof The shape of a heart And I'm goin' out west Where they'll appreciate me Goin' out west Goin' out west

Lyrics
I fell into the ocean When you became my wife I risked it all against the sea To have a better life Marie you're the wild blue sky And men do foolish things You turn kings into beggars And beggars into kings
Pretend that you owe me nothing And all the world is green We can bring back the old days again And all the world is green
The face forgives the mirror The worm forgives the plow The questions begs the answer Can you forgive me somehow Maybe when our story's over We'll go where it's always spring The band is playing our song again And all the world is green
Pretend that you owe me nothing And all the world is green We can bring back the old days again And all the world is green
The moon is yellow silver Oh the things that summer brings It's a love you'd kill for And all the world is green He is balancing a diamond On a blade of grass The dew will settle on our grave When all the world is green

Lyrics
They bought a round for the sailor And they heard his tale Of a world that was so far away And a song that we'd never heard A song of a little bird That fell in love with a whale
He said: you cannot live in the ocean And she said to him: You never can live in the sky But the ocean is filled with tears And the sea turns into a mirror And there's a whale in the moon when it's clear And a bird on the tide
Please don't cry Let me dry Your eyes
So tell me that you will wait for me Hold me in your arms I promise we never will part I'll never sail back to the time But I'll always pretend you're mine Though I know that we both must part You can live in my heart
