Burma-Shave - Tom Waits[00:00:00]

Licorice tattoo turned a gun metal blue[00:00:21]

Scrawled across the shoulders Of a dying town[00:00:29]

The one eyed jacks across the railroad tracks[00:00:40]

And the scar on it's belly pulled a stranger[00:00:47]

Passing through[00:00:54]

He was a juvenile delinquent[00:01:00]

Never learned how to behave[00:01:04]

But the cops would never think to look in[00:01:08]

Burma shave[00:01:12]

And the road was like a ribbon[00:01:24]

And the moon was like a bone[00:01:28]

He didn't seem to be like any guy[00:01:33]

She'd ever known[00:01:37]

He kinda looked like farley granger[00:01:41]

With his hair slicked back[00:01:45]

She says i'm a sucker for a fella[00:01:48]

In a cowboy hat[00:01:53]

How far are you going[00:01:59]

He said depends on what you mean[00:02:03]

He says i'm only stopping here[00:02:08]

To get some gasoline[00:02:12]

I'm guess I'm going thataway[00:02:17]

Just as long as it's paved[00:02:20]

I guess you'd say i'm on my way[00:02:24]

To Burma shave[00:02:29]

And her knees up on the glove compartment[00:02:40]

Took out her barrettes[00:02:45]

And her hair spilled out like rootbeer[00:02:49]

And she popped her gum[00:02:53]

And arched her back[00:02:56]

Hell marysville ain't nothing[00:02:59]

But a wide spot in the road[00:03:03]

Some night my heart pounds just like thunder[00:03:07]

I don't know why[00:03:12]

It don't explode[00:03:14]

Cause everyone in this stinking town[00:03:17]

Has got one foot in the grave[00:03:20]

And i'd rather take my chances out in[00:03:24]

Burma shave[00:03:28]

Presley's what i go by[00:03:40]

Why don't you change the station[00:03:43]

Count the grain elevators in the rearview mirror[00:03:48]

Mister anywhere you point this thing[00:03:57]

Has got to beat the hell out of the sting[00:04:01]

Of going to bed with every dream[00:04:06]

That dies here every morning[00:04:12]

And so drill me a hole with a barber pole[00:04:16]

I'm jumping my parole just like a fugitive tonight[00:04:24]

Why don't you have another swig[00:04:32]

And pass that car if you're so brave[00:04:36]

I wanna get there before the sun comes up[00:04:41]

In Burma shave[00:04:46]

And the spider web crack[00:04:57]

And the mustang screamed[00:04:59]

Smoke from the tires[00:05:04]

And the twisted machine[00:05:07]

Just a nickel's worth of dreams[00:05:12]

And every wishbone that they saved[00:05:16]

Lie swindled from them on the way[00:05:20]

To Burma shave[00:05:25]

And the sun hit the derrick[00:05:36]

And cast a bat wing shadow[00:05:40]

Up against the car door on the shot gun side[00:05:44]

And when they pulled her from the wreck[00:05:52]

You know she[00:05:56]

Still had on her shades[00:05:58]

They say that dreams are growing wild[00:06:01]

Just this side[00:06:05]

Of Burma shave[00:06:08]
