Invitation To The Blues (LP版) - Tom Waits[00:00:00]

Written by：Tom Waits[00:00:01]

Well she's up against the register with an apron and a spatula[00:00:29]

Yesterday's deliveries tickets for the bachelors[00:00:38]

She's a moving violation from her conk down to her shoes[00:00:44]

Well it's just an invitation to the blues[00:00:51]

And you feel just like Cagney she looks like Rita Hayworth[00:00:59]

At the counter of the Schwab's drugstore[00:01:06]

You wonder if she might be single she's a loner and likes to mingle[00:01:13]

Got to be patient try and pick up a clue[00:01:20]

She said how you gonna like 'em over medium or scrambled[00:01:27]

You say anyway's the only way be careful not to gamble[00:01:35]

On a guy with a suitcase and a ticket getting out of here[00:01:42]

It's a tired bus station and an old pair of shoes[00:01:50]

This ain't nothing but an invitation to the blues[00:01:57]

But you can't take your eyes off her get another cup of java[00:02:04]

It's just the way she pours it for you joking with the customers[00:02:12]

Mercy mercy Mr. Percy there ain't nothing back in jersey[00:02:19]

But a broken down jalopy of a man I left behind[00:02:25]

And the dream that I was chasing and a battle with booze[00:02:32]

And an open invitation to the blues[00:02:40]

But she used to have a sugar daddy and a candy apple Caddy[00:02:46]

And a bank account and everything accustomed to the finer things[00:02:54]

He probably left her for a socialite and he didn't 'cept at night[00:03:01]

And then he's drunk and never even told her that her cared[00:03:08]

So they took the registration and the car keys and her shoes[00:03:14]

And left her with an invitation to the blues[00:03:23]

Cause there's a Continental Trailways leaving local bus tonight good evening[00:03:57]

You can have my seat I'm sticking round here for a while[00:04:05]

Get me a room at the squire the filling station's hiring[00:04:11]

And I can eat here every night what the hell have I got to lose[00:04:18]

Got a crazy sensation go or stay now I gotta choose[00:04:24]

And I'll accept your invitation to the blues[00:04:33]
