Bottom Of The World Lyrics - Orphans - Tom Waits

My Daddy told me, lookin back 

The best friend you'll have is a railroad track 

So when I was 13 I said, I'm rollin' my own, 

And I'm leaving Missouri and I'm never coming home 

And I'm lost 

And I'm lost 

I'm lost at the bottom of the world 

I'm handcuffed to the Bishop and the barbershop liar 

I'm lost at the bottom of the world 

Satchel puddin' and Lord God Mose 

Sittin' by the fire with a busted nose 

That fresh egg yeller is too damn rare 

But the white part is perfect for slickin' down your hair

And I'm lost 

And I'm lost 

I'm lost at the bottom of the world 

I'm handcuffed to the Bishop and the barbershop liar 

I'm lost at the bottom of the world 

Blackjack Ruby and Nimrod Cain 

The moon's the color of a coffee stain 

Jesse Franks and Birdy Joe Hoax 

But who is the king of all of these folks? 

And I'm lost 

And I'm lost 

I'm lost at the bottom of the world 

I'm handcuffed to the Bishop and the barbershop liar 

I'm lost at the bottom of the world 

Well I dined last night with Scarface Ron 

On Telapia fish cakes and fried black swan 

Razorweed onion and peacock squirrel 

And I dreamed all night about a beautiful girl

And I'm lost 

And I'm lost 

I'm lost at the bottom of the world 

I'm handcuffed to the Bishop and the barbershop liar 

I'm lost at the bottom of the world 

Well God's green hair is where I slept last 

He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass 

Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird 

And when I wanna talk he 

hangs on every word 

And I'm lost 

And I'm lost 

I'm lost at the bottom of the world 

I'm handcuffed to the Bishop and the barbershop liar 

I'm lost at the bottom of the world
