Eggs And Sausage (intro) Lyrics - 'round Midnight: The Minneapolis Broadcast 1975 - Tom Waits

Nighthawks at the diner, Emma's 49er 

There's a rendezvous of strangers around the coffee urn tonight 

All the gypsy hacks, the insomniacs 

Now the paper's been read 

Now the waitress said 

"Eggs and sausage and a side of toast 

Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy 

Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries, what kind of pie?" 

In a graveyard charade, a late shift masquerade 

And it's two for a quarter, dime for a dance 

With Woolworth Rhinestone diamond earrings 

And a sideway's glance and now the register rings

Now the waitress sings 

"Eggs and sausage and a side of toast 

Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy 

Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries, what kind of pie?" 

Now, the classified section offers no direction 

It's a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud 

As the touch of your fingers 

Lingers burning in my memory 

I've been 86ed from your scheme 

Now I'm in a melodramatic nocturnal scene 

Now I'm a refugee from a disconcerted affair 

Now I lead pipe morning falls 

Now the waitress calls 

"Eggs and sausage and a side of toast 

Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy 

Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries, now what kind of pie?"

Just come in to join the crowd 

Had some time to kill 

See, I'd just come in to join the crowd 

Had some time to kill 

Just come in to join the crowd 

'Coz I had some time to kill
