The One That Got Away(LP版)

The One That Got Away (LP版) - Tom Waits (汤姆·威兹)[00:00:00]

Written by:Tom Waits[00:00:00]

The jigolo's jumping salty[00:00:19]

Ain't no trade out on the streets[00:00:20]

Half past the unlucky[00:00:23]

And the hawk's a front row seat[00:00:25]

Dressed in full orchestration[00:00:27]

Stage door Johnny's got to pay[00:00:29]

And send him home[00:00:32]

Talking bout the one that got away[00:00:33]

Could a been on easy street[00:00:36]

Could a been a wheel[00:00:39]

With irons in the fire[00:00:41]

And all them business deals[00:00:43]

But the last of the big time losers[00:00:45]

Shouted before he drove away[00:00:47]

I'll be right back as soon as I crack[00:00:50]

The one that got away[00:00:52]

The ambulance drivers don't give a shit[00:00:55]

They just want to get off work[00:00:58]

And the short stop and the victim[00:00:59]

Have already gone berserk[00:01:01]

And the shroud tailor measures him[00:01:03]

For a deep six holiday[00:01:05]

The stiff is froze the case is closed[00:01:08]

On the one that got away[00:01:10]

Jim crow's directing traffic[00:01:32]

With them cemetery blues[00:01:33]

With those peculiar looking trousers[00:01:36]

And them old Italian shoes[00:01:38]

The wooden kimono was all ready[00:01:40]

To drop in San Francisco bay[00:01:42]

But now he's mumbling something[00:01:44]

All about the one that got away[00:01:46]

Costello was the champion[00:01:48]

At the st Morita hotel[00:01:51]

And the best this side of fair fax[00:01:54]

Reliable sources tell[00:01:56]

But his reputation is at large[00:01:58]

And he's at Ben Frank's every day[00:02:00]

Waiting for the one that got away[00:02:03]

He's got a snake skin sport shirt[00:02:06]

And he looks like Vincent price[00:02:09]

With a little piece of chicken[00:02:11]

And he's carving off a slice[00:02:13]

But someone tipped her off[00:02:16]

She'll be doing a Houdini now any day[00:02:17]

She shook his hustle[00:02:20]

The greyhound bus'll[00:02:22]

Take the one that got away[00:02:23]

Andre is at the piano[00:02:26]

Behind the ivar in the sewers[00:02:27]

With a buck a shot for pop tunes[00:02:30]

And a fin for guided tours[00:02:32]

He could of been in Casablanca[00:02:34]

He stood in line out there all day[00:02:36]

But now he's spilling whiskey[00:02:38]

And learning songs about the one that got away[00:02:40]

Well I've lost my equilibrium[00:03:01]

My car keys and my pride[00:03:03]

Tattoo parlor's warm[00:03:06]

And so I huddle there inside[00:03:07]

The grinding of the buzz saw[00:03:10]

What you want that thing to say[00:03:12]

Just don't misspell her name[00:03:14]

Buddy she's the one that got away[00:03:16]
