1
Well it's Ninth and Hennepin
2
All the doughnuts have names that sound like prostitutes
3
And the moon's teeth marks are on the sky
4
Like a tarp thrown all over this
5
And the broken umbrellas like dead birds
6
And the steam comes out of the grill
7
Like the whole goddamn town's ready to blow...
8
And the bricks are all scarred with jailhouse tattoos
9
And everyone is behaving like dogs
10
And the horses are coming down Violin Road
11
And Dutch is dead on his feet
12
And all the rooms they smell like diesel
13
And you take on the dreams of the ones who have slept here
14
And I'm lost in the window, and I hide in the stairway
15
And I hang in the curtain, and I sleep in your hat...
16
And no one brings anything small into a bar around here
17
They all started out with bad directions
18
And the girl behind the counter has a tattooed tear
19
One for every year he's away, she said
20
Such a crumbling beauty, ah
21
There's nothing wrong with her that a hundred dollars won't fix
22
She has that razor sadness that only gets worse
23
With the clang and the thunder of the Southern Pacific going by
24
And the clock ticks out like a dripping faucet
25
til you're full of rag water and bitters and blue ruin
26
And you spill out over the side to anyone who will listen...
27
And I've seen it all, I've seen it all
28
Through the yellow windows of the evening train
Tom Waits - Who are you (with lyrics)
