Tom Waits "The Heart Of Saturday Night" |
Now you gassed her up Behind the wheel With your arm around your sweet one In your Oldsmobile Barrelin' down the boulevard You're lookin' for the Heart of Saturday Night An' you got paid on Friday Your pockets a'jinglin' Then you see the lights An' you get all tinglin' Cuz you're cruisin' with a six An' you're lookin' for the Heart of Saturday Night Then you comb your hair You shave your face Tryin' to wipe out every trace Of all the other days In the week You know that this will be the Saturday You're reachin' your peak Stoppin' on the red Goin' on the green Cuz tonight will be like nothin' you've ever seen An' you're barrelin' down the boulevard An' you're lookin' for the Heart of Saturday Night An' tell me is it the crack of the pool balls Neon buzzin' Telephone's ringin' it's your second cousin An' is it the barmaid that's smilin' In the corner of her eye Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye Makes it kind a quiver Down in the core Cuz' your dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before An' now you're stumblin' You're stumblin' onto the Heart of Saturday Night An' you gassed her up An' you're behind the wheel With your arm around your sweet one In your Oldsmobile Barrelin' down the boulevard You're lookin' for the Heart of Saturday night Is it the crack of the pool balls Neon buzzin' Telephone's ringin' it's your second cousin An' the barmaid that's smilin' In the corner of her eye Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye Makes it kind a special Down in the core An' your dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before It's found you stumblin' Stumblin' onto the Heart of Saturday Night An' you're stumblin' Stumblin' onto the Heart of Saturday Night Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
