Tom Waits "Fumblin' with the Blues" |
Friday left me fumblin' with the blues And it's hard to win when you always lose Because the nightspots spend your spirit Beat your head against the wall Two dead ends and you've still got to choose You know the bartenders, they all know my name They catch me when I'm pulling up lame I'm a pool shootin' shimmy shyster Shakin' my head When I should be livin' clean instead You know the ladies I've been seein' off and on They spend your love and then they're gone You can't be loving someone who's selfish and cruel Take your love and then they leave on out of town You know they do Well now falling in love is such a breeze But it's standin up that's so hard for me I want to squeeze you but i'm scared to death i'll break your back You know your perfume It won't let me be You know the bartenders, they all know my name They catch me when I'm pulling up lame I'm a pool shootin' shimmy shyster Shakin' my head When I should be livin' clean instead Come on baby Let your love light shine You gotta bury me inside of your fire Because your eyes're enough to blind me You're like looking at the sun You gotta whisper, tell me I'm the one Come on and whisper, tell me I'm the one You gotta whisper, tell me I'm the one Come on and whisper, tell me I'm the one Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
