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]
