Tom Waits – Virginia Avenue Lyrics  Share

From Tom Waits's album: Closing Time

Well, I^,m walking on down Virginia Avenue
Trying to find somebody to tell my troubles to.
Harold^,s club is closing, and everybody^,s going on home:
What^,s a poor boy to do?

I^,ll just get on back into my short, make it back to the fort
Sleep off all the crazy lizards inside of my brain.
There^,s got to be some place that^,s better than this
This life I^,m leading^,s driving me insane

And let me tell you I^,m dreaming...

Let me tell you that I^,m dreaming to the twilight, this town has got me down.
[ Virginia Avenue lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/t/tom-waits/virginiavenue/ ]
I^,ve seen all the highlights, I^,ve been walking all around
I won^,t make a fuss, I^,ll take a Greyhound bus, carry me away from here:
Tell me, what have I got to lose?

^,Cause I^,m walking on down Columbus Avenue
The bars are all closing, ^,cause it^,s quarter to two
Every town I go to is like a lock without a key
Those I leave behind are catching up on me,
Let me tell you they^,re catching up on me, they^,re catching up on me
Catching up on me, catching up on me, catching up on me
