Generate meaning
1
I wish I had a dollar for each time I took a chance
2
On all those two bit Romeos who counterfeit romance
3
Somehow always thinking of each time that I fell down
4
Knowing that you fall in love is once upon a town
5
I slow down, Purple Avenues, to march around in April's shoes
6
The weather vanes remind all the summetimes that I've left behind
7
The money's gone for auld lang syne
8
I spent on Eastern Standard Time
9
What happened to my role?
10
September fell right through the hole
11
All I've got is empty pockets now
12
Why does August try so hard to hoist me on my own petard?
13
I've learned one thing from losing her
14
That an ounce of prevention's worth a pound of cure
15
The shadows fall, I cannot thread the tenor of the things you said
16
All that's left is flesh and bone
17
The lights are on but no one's home
18
All I've got is empty pockets now
19
I spill myself another drink
20
I count the whiskers in the sink
21
The orchestra is blind
22
But I've never been the worrying kind
23
Subsequently and furthermore
24
I'll sleep right here on the draining board
25
I'll never be paroled
26
I like to drink 'em while they're cold
27
All I've got is empty pockets now
28
So in this 15 story domino, alone is where I've been
29
And I know I said I swore I never fall in love again
30
I guess I still believe a smile is just a frown turned upside down
31
And the story of our love begins with, "Once upon a town"¦"
Tom Waits - "Hold On"
