Tom Waits - Spare Parts İ (a Nocturnal Emission)

 (versiyon 1)
Metin boyutu: ( + Büyült ) ( - Küçült)   
Well, the dawn cracked hard just like a bull-whip

'Cause it wasn't takin' no lip from the night before

And it shook out the streets

As the stew bums showed up like bounced checks

Rubbin' their necks



And the sky turned the color of Pepto-Bismol

Yeah, and the parking lots growled

My old sport coat full of promissory notes

And a receipt from a late night motel



The hawk had his whole family out there, in the wind

And he got a message for you to beware

Kickin' your ass in, in a cold-blooded fashion

Dishin' out more than a good man can bear



And I got shoes untied, my shirt-tail's out

Ain't got a ghost of a chance with this old romance

Just an apartment for rent, down the block

And Ivar Theater with live burlesque

Man, the manager's scowlin' with his feet on the desk

Boom, boom, against the curtain, you're still hurtin', ay, ay



And then push came to shove and shove came to biff

Girls like that just lay you out stiff

Maybe I'll go to Cleveland

And you know, get me a tattoo or somethin'

My brother-in-law lives there



And it's a skid mark tattoo on the asphalt blue

Was that a Malibu?



Yeah, it's Liz Taylor and Montgomery Cliff

Coming on to the broads with the same ol' riff, yeah

"Hey baby, why don't you come up to my place?

We'll listen to some smooth music on the stereo"

"No, thank you", she said

"You got any Stan Getz records?"

'No man, I got Smothers Brothers"



So I combed back my Detroit, jacked up my pegs

I wiped my Stacy Adams and I jackknifed my legs

Yeah, I got designs on a movin' violation



Yeah baby, you put me on hold and I'm out in the wind

And it's gettin' mighty cold

It's colder than a gut-shot bitch, wolf dog with nine suckin' pups

Pullin' a number 4 trap up a hill in the dead of winter

In the middle of a snowstorm with a mouth full of porcupine quills



Well, I don't need you, baby

You see, it's a well known fact, you know

I'm four sheets to the wind, I'm glad you're gone

I'm glad you're gone 'cause I'm finally alone

Glad you're gone but I wish you'd come home

Yeah, and I struggled out of bed



'Cause the dawn was crackin' hard, just like a bull-whip

And it wasn't takin' no lip from the night before

Yeah, as it shook out the streets

And the stew bums showed up just like bounced checks

Rubbin' their necks



And the sky turned the color of Pepto-Bismol

And my old sport coat full of promissory notes

And the hawk had his whole family out there, in the wind

He got a message for you to beware



Kickin' your ass in, in a cold blooded fashion

He'll be dishin' out more than a good man can bear

Well, let's take it to Bakersfield

Get a little apartment somewhere
