《The Ghosts Of Saturday Night》歌词

歌手： Tom Waits

时长： 03:08

A cab combs the snake[00:00:21]

Tryin to rake in that last nights fare[00:00:23]

And a solitary sailor[00:00:28]

Who spends the facts of his life[00:00:30]

Like small change on strangers[00:00:33]

Paws his inside p-coat pocket[00:00:38]

For a welcome twenty-five cents[00:00:41]

And the last bent butt from a package of kents[00:00:45]

As he dreams of a waitress with maxwell house eyes[00:00:48]

And marmalade thighs with scrambled yellow hair [00:00:52]

Her rhinestone-studded moniker says irene[00:00:59]

As she wipes the wisps of dishwater blonde from her eyes[00:01:04]

And the texaco beacon burns on[00:01:22]

The steel-belted attendant with a ring and valve special[00:01:27]

Cryin filler up and check that oil[00:01:31]

You know it could be a distributor and it could be a coil [00:01:36]

The early mornin final editions on the stands[00:01:44]

And that town cryers cryin there with nickels in his hands [00:01:50]

Pigs in a blanket sixty-nine cents[00:01:56]

Eggs - roll em over and a package of kents[00:02:00]

Adam and eve on a log you can sink em damn straight[00:02:05]

Hash browns hash browns you know I cant be late [00:02:09]

And the early dawn cracks out a carpet of diamond[00:02:34]

Across a cash crop car lot[00:02:38]

Filled with twilight coupe devilles[00:02:41]

Leaving the town in a-keeping[00:02:44]

Of the one who is sweeping[00:02:48]

Up the ghost of saturday night[00:02:56]
