Virginia Avenue Lyrics - The Early Years, Vol. 1 - Tom Waits

Well, I'm walking on down Virginia Avenue 

Trying to find somebody to tell my troubles to. 

Harold's club is closing, and everybody's going on home: 

What's a poor boy to do? 

I'll just get on back into my short, make it back to the fort 

Sleep off all the crazy lizards inside of my brain. 

There's got to be some place that's better than this 

This life I'm leading's driving me insane 

And let me tell you I'm dreaming... 

Let me tell you that I'm dreaming to the twilight, this town has got me down. 

I've seen all the highlights, I've been walking all around 

I won't make a fuss, I'll take a Greyhound bus, carry me away from here: 

Tell me, what have I got to lose?

'Cause I'm walking on down Columbus Avenue 

The bars are all closing, 'cause it's quarter to two 

Every town I go to is like a lock without a key 

Those I leave behind are catching up on me, 

Let me tell you they're catching up on me, they're catching up on me 

Catching up on me, catching up on me, catching up on me.
