Reeperbahn - Tom Waits[00:00:00]
Round the curve of the Parrot Bar[00:00:08]
A broken-down old movie star[00:00:12]
Hustling and Easterner[00:00:16]
Bringing out the beast in her[00:00:20]
A high dive in a swimming pool[00:00:24]
Filled with needles and with fools[00:00:29]
The memories are short[00:00:33]
But the tales are long[00:00:34]
When you're in the Reeperbahn[00:00:37]
They called her Rosie[00:00:48]
When she was a girl[00:00:51]
For her bright red cheeks[00:00:53]
Nd her strawberry curls[00:00:55]
When she would laugh the river would run[00:00:57]
Said she'd become a comedian[00:01:02]
Oh what a pity oh what a shame[00:01:06]
When she said come calling nobody came[00:01:10]
Now her bright red cheeks are painted on[00:01:14]
And she's laughing her head[00:01:18]
Off in the Reeperbahn[00:01:20]
Now little Hans was always strange[00:01:31]
Wearing women's underthings[00:01:36]
His father beat him[00:01:40]
But he wouldn't change[00:01:42]
He ran off with a man one day[00:01:44]
Now his lingerie is all the rage[00:01:48]
In the black on every page[00:01:52]
His father proudly calls his name[00:01:56]
Down there in the Reeperbahn[00:02:00]
Now if you've lost your inheritance[00:02:14]
And all you've left is common sense[00:02:18]
And you're not too picky[00:02:22]
About the crowd you keep[00:02:24]
Or the mattress where you sleep[00:02:26]
Behind every window behind every door[00:02:30]
The apple is gone[00:02:34]
But there's always the core[00:02:36]
The seeds will sprout up right[00:02:38]
Through the floor[00:02:40]
Down there in the Reeperbahn[00:02:42]
Down there in the Reeperbahn[00:03:19]
