Temptation-Tom Waits

[00:03.83]Well the smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street [00:09.73]And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws [00:14.55]And you're east of East Saint Louis and the wind is making speeches [00:20.14]And the rain sounds like a round of applause [00:26.13]And Napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon [00:31.00]His invisible fiancee's in the mirror [00:36.44]And the band is going home,it's raining hammers,it's raining nails [00:42.38]And it's true there's nothing left for him down here [00:47.86]And it's time time time,and it's time time time [00:58.53]And it's time time time that you love [01:04.57]And it's time time time [01:10.92]And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train [01:15.95]You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away [01:21.38]And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget [01:26.96]That history puts a saint in every dream [01:32.45]Well she said she'd stick around until the bandages came off [01:37.63]But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit [01:43.07]And Mathilda asks the sailors "Are those dreams or are those prayers?" [01:47.48]So close your eyes,son,and this won't hurt a bit [01:54.85]Oh it's time time time,and it's time time time [02:20.92]Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl [02:25.79]The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street [02:31.68]And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot [02:37.47]And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet [02:42.14]So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips [02:47.68]As the dish outside the window fills with rain [02:53.16]Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart [02:59.71]And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again
