Tom Waits - 'Til The Money Runs Out, 198o

a fragment of the outstanding performance
[album "Heartattack and Vine"].

Lyrics:

Check this strange beverage that falls out from the sky,
Splashin' bagdad on the hudson in panther martin's eyes,
He's high and outside wearin' candy apple red,
Scarlet gave him twenty seven stitches in his head,
With a pint of green chartreuse ain't nothin' seems right,
You buy the sunday paper on a saturday night.

Can't you hear the thunder someone stole my watch,
I sold a quart of blood and bought a half a pint of scotch,
Some one tell those chinamen on telegraph canyon road,
When you're on the bill with the spoon there ain't no time
To unload, so bye bye baby baby bye bye.

Droopy stranger lonely dreamer toy puppy and the prado,
We're laughin' as they piled into olmos' el dorado,
Jesus whispered eni meany miney moe,
They're too proud to duck their heads
That's why they bring it down so low,
So bye bye baby baby bye bye.

The pointed man is smack dab in the middle of july,
Swingin' from the rafters in his brand new tie,
He said i can't go back to that hotel room
All they do is shout,
But i'll stay wichew baby till the money runs out,
So bye bye baby baby bye bye.

The way he light that smoke makes me want to become a smoker

[23flowergirl]

someone said he was "unconventionally sexy". Pure raw sex is all about attitude, charm and much less about a certain look than the mainstream acknowledge. How can a skinny white man have a voice like that? Brilliant!!

[MrPETER1947]

original american artist , take a listen..is all i can say. this dude is not joking around with words , music or culture. makes you want to go kick all these motherfuckers who think they're artists in the ass.

[bacardi119]

He could easily smoke a pack of cigarrettes a day right?

[Dylan10777]

cool as it gets

[Kordik]

He sounds like he's fucking dying.

[waltinhopai]

Viagem lisérgica,pelo universo das esquinas escuras das metrópoles,do submundo,artisticamente,poetic­amente.

[TheMariosincero]

I need a fuckin cigarette..

[Shooters141]

If I saw Tom walking towards me on the street tricked out like he is here I might very possibly cross the street.

[wetmewhistle]

I sold a quart of blood and bought a half a pint of scotch..... brilliant!
