"Clap Hands," by Tom Waits. Another great live performance.

Lyrics:
Sane, sane, theyre all insane,
Firemans blind, the conductor is lame
A Cincinnati jacket and a sad-luck dame
Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands

Said roar, roar, the thunder and the roar
Son of a bitch is never coming back here no more
The moon in the window and a bird on the pole
We can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands

Said steam, steam, a hundred bad dreams
Going up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans
A fifty-dollar bill inside a palladin's hat
And nobodys sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at

Roar, roar, the thunder and the roar
Son of a bitch is never coming back here no more
Moon in the window and a bird on the pole
Can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands

I said steam, steam, a hundred bad dreams
Going up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans
A fifty-dollar bill inside a palladin's hat
And nobodys sure where Mr. Knickerbockers at

Shine, shine, a Roosevelt dime
All the way to Baltimore and running out of time
Salvation Army seemed to wind up in the hole
They all went to heaven in a little row boat
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands

    That pathetic society oughta be arrested for not having a spot for him.

  • @UCFCamaroSS He's so cool! Awesome growl too and he's a great songwriter. What have you ever done to brag about? At least Tom Waits has made people happy with music.

  • holy shit this is awesome

  • @UCFCamaroSS - Yeah, you know real talent. Go get back to your Bieber videos.

  • Classic Tom Waits. Like "Singapore, On the Nickel, Downtown Train, 9th & Hennepin".....There isn't room to list them all. Thanx for posting this

  • This guy should be arrested. He serves no point in society.

  • Dang! This guy just scares me. He always has. :-O
