How's It Gonna End Lyrics - Tom Waits

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 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, the found out 

The ring was a fake 

A tree born crooked 

Will never grow straight 

She sunk like a hammer in to 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? 

Photos 

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 wordl 

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?
