Time

(Waits)

Tom Waits - from “Rain Dogs” (1985)


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 fiance 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


Well she said she’d stick around


Until the bandages came off


But these mamas boys just don’t know when to quit


And Matilda 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 streets


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 pay the fiddler off till I come back again
