Don't go to church on Sunday. Don't get on my knees to pray. Don't memorize the books of the Bible. I got my own special way. But I know Jesus loves me.
Well I stumbled in the darkness. I'm lost and alone. Though I said I'd go before us. And show the way back home. Is there a light up ahead. I can't hold on baby, long.
You can never hold back spring. You can be sure that I will never. Stop believing. The blushing rose will climb. Spring ahead or fall behind. Winter dreams the same dream.
Where am I?. I've never been myself. Lived for someone else. In the dark I dig into my flesh. I'm calling out, I'm calling out. I'm crying out for my death.
----I u.. . You can hang me in a bottle like a cat. Let the crows pick me clean but for my hat. Where the wailing of a baby. Meets the footsteps of the dead.
Get a job, save your money, listen to Jane. Everybody knows umbrellas will cost more in the rain. All the news is bad. Is there any other kind?. Everybody's talking at the same time.
Words that kill, would you speak them to me. With your breath so still, it makes me believe. In the Father's sins. Let me suffer now and never die, I'm alive.
God said: don't give me your tin horn prayers. Don't buy roses off the street down there. Took it all and took the dirt road home. Dreaming of Jenny with the light brown hair.
(Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan). . Around the curve of The Parrot Bar. A broken-down old movie star. Hustling and Easterner. Bringing out the beast in her.
There ain't enough raised right men. I said, there ain't enough raised right men. It takes a raised right man to keep a happy hen. I said, there ain't enough raised right men.
Did you hear the news about edward?. on the back of his head he had another face. was it a woman's face or a young girl?. they said to remove it would kill him.
They pay me not to come home. Keeping me stoned. I won't run away. They say it's easy to get. Stuck in this town. Just like Joan. You know I gave it all up for the stage.
The door was open I was seething. Your mother burst in it was freezing. She said it looks like it's trying to rain. I was lost I felt sea sick. You convinced me that he'd left.
Are you ready, are you ready. Knocky Parker told Bowlegged Sal. They all know how to kick it in Cal. They're playing this dope and this. Money tune. Dancing baby with a 7 mile broom.
What are we all living for?. If nothing's worth dying for tonight. Your dreams are not enough. What I need is love. That's worth laying down my life. .
(Tom Waits/ Kathleen Brennan). . Well I stumbled in the darkness. I'm lost and alone. Though I said I'd go before us. And show the way back home. There a light up ahead.
(You got to) Lie to me baby. (You got to) Lie to me baby. (You got to) Lie to me baby. (You got to) Lie to me baby - move on. . I know you got another.
I'm the last leaf on the tree. The autumn took the rest. But they won't take me. I'm the last leaf on the tree. . When the autumn wind blows. They're already gone.
The fire's dying out. All the embers have been spent. Outside on the street. Lovers hide in the shadows. . You look at me. I look at you. There's only one thing.
You haven't looked at me that way in years. You dreamed me up and left me here. How long was I dreaming for. What was it you wanted me for. . You haven't looked at me that way in years.
