You gas her up. You're behind the wheel. Your arm around your sweet one. In your Oldsmobile. Barrelin' down the boulevard. Looking for the heart of Saturday night.
You can't unring a bell, junior. It'll cost ya to get out of this one, junior. Cause he's got big plans. That don't include you. take it like a man. .
Put a dead cat on the railroad tracks. Wolf bains blooming by the tressel. Get the eyeball of a rooster. Stones from a ditch. Wash 'em down with bilge water.
I come in on a night train. With an arm full of box cars. On the wings of a magpie. Cross a hooligan night. I busted up a chifforobe. Way out by the cocomo.

warm beer and cold women, I just don't fit in. every joint I stumbled into tonight. that's just how it's been. all these double knit strangers with. gin and vermouth and recycled stories.
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?.

Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did. I've got what I paid for now. See ya tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow. A couple of bucks from you?. To go Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda.
I should go out and honk the horn,. it's Independence Day. But instead I just pour myself a drink. It's got to be love, I've never felt this way. Oh baby, this one's from the heart.
The piano has been drinking,. My necktie is asleep,. And the combo went back to New York,. The jukebox has to take a leak,. And the carpet needs a haircut,.
Well, the gigolo's jumpin' salty. Ain't no trade out on the streets. Half past the unlucky. And the hawk's a front row seat. Dressed in full orchestration.
I love the way. The tattered clouds. Go wind across the sky. . As summer goes. And leave me. With a tear in my eye. . I'm taking out my winter clothes.
A cab combs the snake tryin' to rake in that last night's fare. And a solitary sailor. Who spends the facts of his life like small change on strangers.

Come on a long with the Black Rider. We'll have a gay old time. Lay down in the web of the black spider. I'll drink your blood like wine. . So come on in.
(tom waits for marianne faithful). Will you take me across the channel,. London bridge is falling down.. Strange a woman tries to save. What a man will try to drown..
Life is whittled. Life's a riddle. Man's a fiddle that life plays on. When the day breaks and the earth quakes. Life's a mistake all day long. Tell me, who gives a good goddamn.
Mamas in the kitchen, Daddies on the phone. And nobody knows what's going on. But I've got those. so long I'll see you cause my Buick's outside waiting blues.
If I was a seagull high and aloof. I'd sail to the highest perch on your roof. But I ain't no seagull, you know my name. And the wind's blowin fortune, the wind's blowin pain.
