[00:00.441]	Burma Shave - Tom Waits （汤姆·威兹）
[00:21.267]	Licorice tattoo turned a gun metal blue
[00:29.427]	Scrawled across the shoulders Of a dying town
[00:39.647]	The one eyed jacks across the railroad tracks
[00:47.186]	And the scar on it's belly pulled a stranger
[00:53.796]	Passing through
[01:00.156]	He was a juvenile delinquent
[01:03.666]	Never learned how to behave
[01:07.746]	But the cops would never think to look in
[01:12.195]	Burma shave
[01:23.525]	And the road was like a ribbon
[01:27.955]	And the moon was like a bone
[01:32.614]	He didn't seem to be like any guy
[01:37.224]	She'd ever known
[01:40.824]	He kinda looked like farley granger
[01:44.613]	With his hair slicked back
[01:48.113]	She says i'm a sucker for a fella
[01:52.623]	In a cowboy hat
[01:59.443]	How far are you going
[02:02.612]	He said depends on what you mean
[02:07.532]	He says i'm only stopping here
[02:11.642]	To get some gasoline
[02:16.732]	I'm guess I'm going thataway
[02:20.402]	Just as long as it's paved
[02:24.432]	I guess you'd say i'm on my way
[02:28.802]	To Burma shave
[02:39.971]	And her knees up on the glove compartment
[02:45.431]	Took out her barrettes
[02:49.91]	And her hair spilled out like rootbeer
[02:53.11]	And she popped her gum
[02:55.641]	And arched her back
[02:58.920]	Hell marysville ain't nothing
[03:03.300]	But a wide spot in the road
[03:07.489]	Some night my heart pounds just like thunder
[03:11.629]	I don't know why
[03:14.89]	It don't explode
[03:16.789]	Cause everyone in this stinking town
[03:19.929]	Has got one foot in the grave
[03:24.329]	And i'd rather take my chances out in
[03:28.459]	Burma shave
[03:40.199]	Presley's what i go by
[03:43.419]	Why don't you change the station
[03:47.778]	Count the grain elevators in the rearview mirror
[03:56.908]	Mister anywhere you point this thing
[04:01.488]	Has got to beat the hell out of the sting
[04:06.87]	Of going to bed with every dream
[04:11.647]	That dies here every morning
[04:15.837]	And so drill me a hole with a barber pole
[04:24.226]	I'm jumping my parole just like a fugitive tonight
[04:31.996]	Why don't you have another swig
[04:36.486]	And pass that car if you're so brave
[04:41.406]	I wanna get there before the sun comes up
[04:45.696]	In Burma shave
[04:56.966]	And the spider web crack
[04:59.305]	And the mustang screamed
[05:04.55]	Smoke from the tires
[05:06.595]	And the twisted machine
[05:12.445]	Just a nickel's worth of dreams
[05:16.305]	And every wishbone that they saved
[05:20.445]	Lie swindled from them on the way
[05:24.735]	To Burma shave
[05:36.295]	And the sun hit the derrick
[05:39.635]	And cast a bat wing shadow
[05:44.124]	Up against the car door on the shot gun side
[05:51.523]	And when they pulled her from the wreck
[05:55.903]	You know she
[05:57.503]	Still had on her shades
[06:00.733]	They say that dreams are growing wild
[06:05.322]	Just this side
[06:07.682]	Of Burma shave
