[00:00:00] Invitation To The Blues (LP版) - Tom Waits

[00:00:01] Written by：Tom Waits

[00:00:29] Well she's up against the register with an apron and a spatula

[00:00:38] Yesterday's deliveries tickets for the bachelors

[00:00:44] She's a moving violation from her conk down to her shoes

[00:00:51] Well it's just an invitation to the blues

[00:00:59] And you feel just like Cagney she looks like Rita Hayworth

[00:01:06] At the counter of the Schwab's drugstore

[00:01:13] You wonder if she might be single she's a loner and likes to mingle

[00:01:20] Got to be patient try and pick up a clue

[00:01:27] She said how you gonna like 'em over medium or scrambled

[00:01:35] You say anyway's the only way be careful not to gamble

[00:01:42] On a guy with a suitcase and a ticket getting out of here

[00:01:50] It's a tired bus station and an old pair of shoes

[00:01:57] This ain't nothing but an invitation to the blues

[00:02:04] But you can't take your eyes off her get another cup of java

[00:02:12] It's just the way she pours it for you joking with the customers

[00:02:19] Mercy mercy Mr. Percy there ain't nothing back in jersey

[00:02:25] But a broken down jalopy of a man I left behind

[00:02:32] And the dream that I was chasing and a battle with booze

[00:02:40] And an open invitation to the blues

[00:02:46] But she used to have a sugar daddy and a candy apple Caddy

[00:02:54] And a bank account and everything accustomed to the finer things

[00:03:01] He probably left her for a socialite and he didn't 'cept at night

[00:03:08] And then he's drunk and never even told her that her cared

[00:03:14] So they took the registration and the car keys and her shoes

[00:03:23] And left her with an invitation to the blues

[00:03:57] Cause there's a Continental Trailways leaving local bus tonight good evening

[00:04:05] You can have my seat I'm sticking round here for a while

[00:04:11] Get me a room at the squire the filling station's hiring

[00:04:18] And I can eat here every night what the hell have I got to lose

[00:04:24] Got a crazy sensation go or stay now I gotta choose

[00:04:33] And I'll accept your invitation to the blues
