SINGER: Tom Waits
SONG:Jockey Full Of Bourbon
Edna million in a drop dead suit dutch pink on a downtown train two dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot i'm in the corner in the pouring rain 16 men on a deadman's chest and i've been drinking from a broken cup 2 pair of pants and a mohair vest i'm full of bourbon; i can't stand up Chorus: hey little bird, fly away home your house is on fire; your children are alone hey little bird, fly away home your house is on fire; your children are alone Schiffer broke a bottle on morgan's head and i've been stepping on the devil's tail across the stripes of a full moon's head through the bars of a cuban jail bloody fingers on a purple knife a flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass i'm on the lawn with someone else's wife come admire the view from up onto of the mast Chorus Yellow sheets in a hong kong bed stazybo horn and a slingerland ride to the carnival is what she said a hundred dollars makes it dark inside Repeat first verse and chorus
