Tom Waits
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
well the dawn cracked hard just like a bull whip
2
cause it wasn't takin' no lip from the night before
3
as it shook out the street, the stew bums showed up
4
just like bounced checks, rubbin' their necks
5
and the sky turned the color of Pepto-Bismol
6
and the parking lots growled
7
and my old sports coat full of promissory notes
8
and a receipt from a late night motel
9
and the hawk had his whole family out
10
there in the wind, and he's got a message
11
for you to beware cause he be kickin' your
12
ass in, in a cold blooded fashion
13
dishin' out more than a good man can bear
14
I got shoes untied, shirt tail's out, ain't got a
15
ghost of a chance with this old romance
16
just an apartment for rent down the block
17
Ivar Theater with live burlesque
18
and the manager's scowlin', feet on his desk
19
boom boom against the curtain
20
you're still hurtin'
21
and then push came to shove, shove came to biff
22
girls like that just lay you out stiff
23
maybe I'll go to Cleveland or
24
get me a tattoo or somethin', my brother
25
in law's there
26
skid mark tattoo on the asphalt blue
27
was that a Malibu
28
Liz Taylor and Montgomery Clift
29
cumming on to the broads with the
30
same ol' riff. Hey baby come up to
31
my place, we'll listen to some
32
smooth music on the stereo, no thank you
33
got any Stan Getz records
34
no I got Smothers Brothers
35
so I combed back my Detroit
36
jack up my pegs, wiped my Stacy Adams
37
jacknifed my legs, yea I got designs
38
on a moving violation
39
hey baby, you put me on hold and I'm
40
out in the wind and it's getting
41
mighty cold...
42
colder than a gut shot bitch wolf dog
43
with 9 sucking pups pullin' a 4 trap
44
up a hill in the dead of winter
45
in the middle of a snowstorm
46
with a mouth full of porcupine quills
47
(scat) yea well I don't need you baby
48
It's a well known fact
49
I'm 4 sheets to the wind
50
I'm glad you're gone
51
I'm glad you're gone
52
I'm finally alone
53
glad you're gone, but I
54
wish you'd come home
55
and I struggled out of bed
56
cause the dawn was crackin' hard like a bullwhip
57
cause it wasn't takin' no lip from the night before
58
as it shook out the streets the stew bums
59
showed up just like bounced checks
60
rubbin' their necks, and the sky turned the
61
color of Pepto-Bismol
62
and my old sports coat full of promissory notes
63
and the hawk had his whole family out there
64
in the wind, he got a message for you to beware
65
kickin' your ass in, in a cold blooded fashion
66
he be dishin' out more than a good man can bear
67
well hey baby let's take it to Bakersfield
68
get a little apartment somewhere
