The Ghosts Of Saturday Night - Tom Waits[00:00:01]
A cab combs the snake[00:00:20]
Tryin to rake in that last nights fare[00:00:22]
And a solitary sailor[00:00:27]
Who spends the facts of his life[00:00:29]
Like small change on strangers[00:00:31]
Paws his inside p-coat pocket[00:00:36]
For a welcome twenty-five cents[00:00:40]
And the last bent butt[00:00:44]
From a package of kents[00:00:46]
As he dreams of a waitress[00:00:47]
With maxwell house eyes[00:00:49]
And marmalade thighs[00:00:51]
With scrambled yellow hair [00:00:53]
Her rhinestone-studded moniker says irene[00:00:57]
As she wipes the wisps of[00:01:02]
Dishwater blonde from her eyes[00:01:05]
And the texaco beacon burns on[00:01:21]
The steel-belted attendant[00:01:26]
With a ring and valve special[00:01:27]
Cryin filler up and check that oil[00:01:31]
You know it could be a distributor[00:01:34]
And it could be a coil [00:01:36]
The early mornin final editions on the stands[00:01:43]
And that town cryers cryin there[00:01:48]
With nickels in his hands [00:01:50]
Pigs in a blanket sixty-nine cents[00:01:55]
Eggs-roll em over and a package of kents[00:01:59]
Adam and eve on a log [00:02:03]
You can sink em damn straight[00:02:05]
Hash browns hash browns [00:02:07]
You know I cant late be[00:02:09]
And the early dawn cracks[00:02:32]
Out a carpet of diamond[00:02:34]
Across a cash crop car lot[00:02:37]
Filled with twilight coupe devilles[00:02:39]
Leaving the town in a-keeping[00:02:43]
Of the one who is sweeping[00:02:47]
Up the ghost of saturday night[00:02:55]
