[ar:tom waits] |
| [00:02.321] |
The smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street |
| [00:08.322] |
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws |
| [00:13.820] |
And you're east of East Saint Louis and the wind is making speeches |
| [00:19.131] |
And the rain sounds like a round of applause |
| [00:24.506] |
And Napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon |
| [00:30.06] |
His invisible fiancee's in the mirror |
| [00:35.256] |
And the band is going home,it's raining hammers,it's raining nails |
| [00:41.69] |
And it's true there's nothing left for him down here |
| [00:46.694] |
And it's time time time,it's time time time |
| [00:57.632] |
And it's time time time that you love |
| [01:03.796] |
And it's time time time |
| [01:10.46] |
And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train |
| [01:14.797] |
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away |
| [01:20.422] |
And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget |
| [01:26.47] |
That history puts a saint in every dream |
| [01:31.84] |
Well she said she'd stick around until the bandages came off |
| [01:36.646] |
But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit |
| [01:42.86] |
And Mathilda asks the sailors "Are those dreams or are those prayers?" |
| [01:47.529] |
So close your eyes,son,and this won't hurt a bit |
| [01:52.402] |
Oh it's time time time,and it's time time time |
| [02:03.217] |
And it's time time time that you love |
| [02:08.680] |
And it's time time time |
| [02:19.369] |
Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl |
| [02:24.930] |
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street |
| [02:30.743] |
And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot |
| [02:35.932] |
A thousand pigeons fall around her feet |
| [02:41.182] |
So put a candle in the window ,a kiss upon his lips |
| [02:46.493] |
As the dish outside the window fills with rain |
| [02:53.164] |
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart |
| [02:58.539] |
And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again |
| [03:02.227] |
Oh it's time time time,it's time time time |
| [03:12.854] |
And it's time time time that you love |
| [03:18.978] |
And it's time time time |
| [03:24.541] |
And it's time time time,and it's time time time |
| [03:35.597] |
It's time time time that you love |
| [03:41.846] |
And it's time time time |
