Walking Spanish Lyrics - Rain Dogs - Tom Waits

He's got himself a homemade special 

You know his glass is full of sand 

And it fells just like a jaybird 

The way it fits into his hand 

He rolled a blade up in his trick towel 

They slap their hands against the wall 

You never trip, you never stumble 

He's walking spanish down the hall 

Slip him a picture of our Jesus 

Or give him a spoon to dig a hole 

What all he done ain't no one's business 

But he'll need blankets for the cold 

They dim the lights over on Broadway 

Even the king has bowed his head 

Every face looks right up at Mason 

He's walking spanish down the hall 

Latella's screeching for a blind pig 

Punk Sander's carved it out of wood 

He never sang when he got hoodwinked 

They tried it all but he never would 

Tomorrow morning there'll be laundry 

But he'll be somewhere else to hear the call 

Don't say goodbye he's just leaving early 

He's walking spanish down the hall 

All St. Bartholemew said was whispered 

Into the ear of Blind Jack Dawes 

All the Baker told the machine 

Was thet he never broke the law 

Go on and tip your hat up to the Pilate 

Take off your watch, your rings and all 

Even Jesus wanted just a little more time 

When he was walking spanish down the hall
