Tom Waits – Time Lyrics  Share

From Tom Waits's album: Rain Dogs

Well, the smart money^,s on Harlow
And the moon is in the street
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And you^,re east of East St. Louis
And the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon
His invisible fianc is in the mirror
The band is going home
It^,s raining hammers, it^,s raining nails
Yes, it^,s true, there^,s nothing left for him down here

Chorus:
And it^,s Time Time Time
And it^,s Time Time Time
And it^,s Time Time Time
That you love
And it^,s Time Time Time

And they all pretend they^,re Orphans
And their memory^,s like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can^,t remember
Tell the things you can^,t forget that
History puts a saint in every dream
[ Time lyrics from

Well she said she^,d steak around
Until the bandages came off
But these mamas boys just don^,t know when to quit
And Matida asks the sailors are those dreams
Or are those prayers
So just close your eyes, son
And this won^,t hurt a bit

Chorus

Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars
And splash into the street
And when she^,s on a roll she pulls a razor
From her boot and a thousand
Pigeons fall around her feet
So put a candle in the window
And a kiss upon his lips
Till the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
And play the fiddler off till i come back again

Chorus
