Tom Waits – On The Other Side Of The World Lyrics  Share

From Tom Waits's album: Night On Earth

There^,s a blue eyed girl with a red bow tie
and a string of pearls with one good eye
in a rainy town the chimney smoke will curl
no one likes clowns on the other side of the world
and the children know she^,ll never let me go.

there^,s a one legged priest that tangos with the farmers wife
Beauty and the beast is taking her own life
and a tear on a letter back home turns into a lake of your own
and a crow turns into a girl on the other side of the world
and she tastes like the sea and she^,s waiting for me

in the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only rose
[ On The Other Side Of The World lyrics from

and he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.
And I drink champagne from your thin blue veins

She visits his grave wearing her mother^,s shawl
should I shave or end it all.
There^,s an old sailor song that the children know
as their fingers curl around the other side of the world
on a bone white mare lost in Kathleen^,s hair

in the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only rose
and he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.
