Swordfishtrombone - Tom Waits (汤姆·威兹)[00:00:00]

Written by：Tom Waits[00:00:01]

Well he came home from the war[00:00:33]

With a party in his head[00:00:35]

And modified brougham deville[00:00:37]

And a pair of legs that opened up[00:00:41]

Like butterfly wings[00:00:43]

And a mad dog that wouldn't[00:00:45]

Sit still[00:00:47]

He went and took up with a salvation army[00:00:49]

Band girl[00:00:52]

Played dirty water[00:00:53]

On a swordfishtrombone[00:00:54]

He went to sleep at the bottom of[00:00:57]

Ten killer lake[00:00:59]

And he said gee but it's[00:01:01]

Great to be home[00:01:03]

Well he came home from the war[00:01:05]

With a party in his head[00:01:07]

And an idea for a fireworks display[00:01:10]

And he knew that he'd be ready with[00:01:14]

A stainless steel machete[00:01:16]

And a half a pint of ballentine's[00:01:18]

Each day[00:01:20]

And he holed up in a room above a hardware store[00:01:22]

Cryin' nothing there but Hollywood tears[00:01:26]

And he put a spell on some[00:01:30]

Poor little crutch field girl[00:01:32]

And stayed like that for 27 years[00:01:34]

He packed up all his[00:01:38]

Expectations he lit out for California[00:01:39]

With a flyswatter banjo on his knee[00:01:42]

With a lucky tiger in his angel hair[00:01:46]

And Benzedrine for getting there[00:01:49]

Found him in a eucalyptus tree[00:01:51]

Lieutenant got him a canary bird[00:01:54]

And shaken her head with every word[00:01:57]

And Chesterfield moonbeams in a song[00:01:59]

He got 20 years for loving her[00:02:02]

From some Oklahoma governor[00:02:04]

Said everything this dough boy[00:02:07]

Does is wrong[00:02:08]

Now some say he's doing[00:02:10]

The obituary mambo[00:02:12]

And some say he's hanging on the wall[00:02:15]

Perhaps this yarn's the only thing[00:02:18]

That holds this man together[00:02:21]

Some say that he was never here at all[00:02:23]

Some say they saw him down in[00:02:27]

Birmingham sleeping in a[00:02:29]

Boxcar going by[00:02:32]

And if you think that you can tell a bigger tale[00:02:35]

I swear to God you'd have to tell a lie[00:02:39]
