I'm leavin' my fam'ly. Leavin' all my friends. My body's at home. But my heart's in the wind. Where the clouds are like headlines. On a new front page sky.
Night time is falling on the city of decay. Obscurity shrouds all around me. The vision of an angel falling down from the sky. Carrying the sword of vengeance.
Well you gassed her up. Behind the wheel. With your arm around your sweet one. In your Oldsmobile. Barrelin' down the boulevard. You're looking for the heart of saturday night.
You used to dream yourself away each night. To places that you'd never been. On wings made of wishes. That you whispered to yourself. . Back when every night the moon and you.
When you're just a sickly mess. You're worn and tired and scared to death. Well you, you can come to me. And we can share a disease. And talk and roll around in the debris, yeah.
To see that you fail sometimes. It's the only thing to be. And the truth will unwind. And fall on your tongue. . You feel that you're gonna be opened up.
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night. I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light. I never saw my hometown 'til I'd stayed away too long.
He will leave behind all of his clothes. He wore when he was with her. All he needs are his railroad boots. And his leather jacket. . As he says goodbye to Ruby's arms.
The evening fell just like a star. Left a trail behind. You spit as you slammed. Out the door. . If this is love we're crazy. As we fight like cats and dogs.
Grapefruit moon, one star shining. Shining down on me. I heard that tune and now I'm pining. Honey, can't you see?. . Every time I hear that melody. Something breaks inside.
I won't ever get used to this. A blank spot temptations do resist. The other shoe will drop. Just an aftershock. . Nice hat, you look like a referee. Nice watch, but why are you timing me?.
Well i hope that i dont fall in love with you. Cause falling in love just makes me blue. Where the music plays a new display of hard for me to see. I head a beer and now i hear you calling out for me.
When traveling abroad in the continental style. It's my belief one must attempt to be discreet. And subsequently bear in mind your transient position.
Hey Charlie I'm pregnant. and living on the 9th Street. right above a dirty bookstore. off Euclid Avenue. And I stopped takin dope. And I quit drinkin whiskey.
Tom Waits. . Yeah, you gassed her up,. You're behind the wheel. Arm around your sweet one,. In your Oldsmobile. Barrelin' down the Boulevard,. Looking for the heart of Saturday night..
When I'm lyin' in my bed at night, I don't wanna grow up. Nothin' ever seems to turn out right, I don't wanna grow up. How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things.
Well, I got a bad liver and a broken heart. Yeah, I drunk me a river since you tore me apart. And I don't have a drinking problem, except when I can't get a drink.
Got no time for the corner boys. Down in the street makin' all that noise. Don't want no hos on 8th Avenue. 'Cause tonight I'm gonna be with you. . Tonight I'm gonna take that ride.
He will leave behind all of his clothes. He wore when he was with her. All he need's are his railroad boots. And his leather jacket. As he say goodbye to Ruby's arms.
