Tom Waits – Eggs And Sausage (in A Cadillac With Susan Michelson) Lyrics  Share

From Tom Waits's album: Nighthawks At The Diner

nighthawks at the diner
of Emma^,s 49er, there^,s a rendezvous
of strangers around the coffee urn tonight
all the gypsy hacks, the insomniacs
now the paper^,s been read
now the waitress said

CHORUS
eggs and sausage and a side of toast
coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
chile in a bowl with burgers and fries
what kind of pie?

In a graveyard charade, a late shift masquerade
2 for a quarter, dime for a dance
with Woolworth rhinestone diamond
earrings, and a sideway^,s glance
and now the register rings
[ Eggs And Sausage (in A Cadillac With Susan Michelson) lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/t/tom-waits/eggs-and-sausage-in-cadillac-with-susan-michelson/ ]
and now the waitress sings

CHORUS

the classified section offered no direction
it^,s a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud
now the touch of your fingers
lingers burning in my memory
I^,ve been 86ed from your scheme
I^,m in a melodramatic nocturnal scene
I^,m a refugee from a disconcerted affair
as the lead pipe morning falls
and the waitress calls

CHORUS
