Tom Waits
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
A lonely mother gazing out of her window
2
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
3
If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
4
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
5
But all the praying just ain't helping
6
At all 'cause he can't seem to keep
7
His self out of trouble
8
So he goes out and he makes his money
9
The best way he knows how
10
Another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me
11
1-Don't go chasing waterfalls
12
Please stick to the rivers
13
And the lakes that you're used to
14
I know that you're gonna have it your way
15
Or nothing at all
16
But I think you're moving too fast
17
Little precious has a natural obsession
18
For temptation but he just can't see
19
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
20
But all he can say is baby it's good to me
21
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
22
But he doesn't recognize his own face
23
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
24
3 letters took him to his final resting place
25
Y'all don't hear me?
26

[Left Eye]
28
I see a rainbow yesterday
29
But too many storms have come and gone
30
leavin' a trace of not good-given ray
31
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
32
I pray all ten fade away
33
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
34
And like His promise is true only my faith can undo
35
The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew
36
Clear blue and unconditional skies
37
Have dried the tears from my eyes
38
No more lonely cries endurin' pain that
39
it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
40
Who's to blame it's a shame
41
You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
42
You claim the insane and name his day in time
43
For fallin' prey to crime, I say the system
44
Got you victim to your own mind
45
Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes
46
Of comin' true, believe in yourself
47
The rest is up to me and you
48
