1
Well, the smart money's on Harlow
2
And the moon is in the street
3
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
4
And you're east of East St. Louis
5
And the wind is making speeches
6
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
7
Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon
8
His invisible fianc is in the mirror
9
The band is going home
10
It's raining hammers, it's raining nails
11
Yes, it's true, there's nothing left for him down here
12
[Chorus:]
13
And it's Time Time Time
14
And it's Time Time Time
15
And it's Time Time Time
16
That you love
17
And it's Time Time Time
18
And they all pretend they're Orphans
19
And their memory's like a train
20
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
21
And the things you can't remember
22
Tell the things you can't forget that
23
History puts a saint in every dream
24
Well she said she'd steak around
25
Until the bandages came off
26
But these mamas boys just don't know when to quit
27
And Matida asks the sailors are those dreams
28
Or are those prayers
29
So just close your eyes, son
30
And this won't hurt a bit
31
[Chorus]
32
Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
33
The boys just dive right off the cars
34
And splash into the street
35
And when she's on a roll she pulls a razor
36
From her boot and a thousand
37
Pigeons fall around her feet
38
So put a candle in the window
39
And a kiss upon his lips
40
Till the dish outside the window fills with rain
41
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
42
And play the fiddler off till i come back again
43
[Chorus]
Tom Waits - Time
