《Circus》歌词

[00:00:01] Circus - Tom Waits

[00:00:04] We put up our tent on a dark

[00:00:07] Green knoll outside of town by

[00:00:09] The train tracks and a seagull dump

[00:00:13] Topping the bill was Horse Face Ethel

[00:00:17] And her Marvellous Pigs In Satin

[00:00:21] We pounded our stakes in the ground

[00:00:23] All powder brown

[00:00:26] And the branches spread like scary

[00:00:28] Fingers reaching

[00:00:32] We were in a pasture outside Kankakee

[00:00:36] And One Eyed Myra the queen of

[00:00:38] The galley who trained the

[00:00:40] Ostrich and the camels

[00:00:44] She looked at me squinty with her

[00:00:46] One good eye in a Roy Orbison

[00:00:49] T-shirt as she bottle fed

[00:00:52] An orangutan named Tripod

[00:00:56] And then there was

[00:00:57] Yodeling Elaine the

[00:00:59] Queen of the air who wore a

[00:01:02] Dollar sign medallion and she

[00:01:05] Had a tiny bubble of spittle

[00:01:07] Around her nostril and a

[00:01:08] Little rusty tear for she had

[00:01:12] Lassoed and lost another

[00:01:14] Tipsy sailor

[00:01:18] And over in

[00:01:18] The burnt yellow tent

[00:01:20] By the frozen tractor the

[00:01:22] Music was like electric sugar

[00:01:26] And Zuzu Bolin played

[00:01:28] Stavin Chain and Mighty

[00:01:32] Tiny on the saw and he

[00:01:35] Threw his head back with a

[00:01:37] Mouth full of gold teeth

[00:01:38] And they played Lopsided heart

[00:01:40] And Moon over Dog Street

[00:01:43] And by the time they played Moanin Low

[00:01:46] I was soakin wet and wild eyed

[00:01:52] And Doctor Bliss slipped me a

[00:01:54] Preparation and I fell asleep with

[00:01:57] Livery Stable Blues in my ear

[00:02:27] And me and Molley Hoey drank

[00:02:29] Pruno and Koolaid and she had a

[00:02:34] Tattoo gun made out of a cassette

[00:02:36] Motor and a guitar string and

[00:02:41] She soaked a hanky in 3 Roses

[00:02:44] And rubbed it on the spot

[00:02:47] And drew a rickety heart and

[00:02:48] A bent arrow and it hurt like hell

[00:02:54] And Funeral Wells spun

[00:02:57] Poodle Murphy on the target

[00:02:59] As he threw his hardware

[00:03:03] Only once in Sheboygan did he miss

[00:03:07] At a matinee on Diamond Pier and

[00:03:11] She'd never let him forget it

[00:03:14] They were doing two shows and she

[00:03:17] Had a high fever and he took

[00:03:20] Off a piece of her ear and

[00:03:22] Tip Little told her she should

[00:03:25] Leave the bum

[00:03:27] But Poodle said He fetched me

[00:03:29] Last time I run

[00:03:33] But I'd like to hammer this ring into a bullet

[00:03:38] And I wish I had some whiskey and a gun

[00:03:42] My dear

[00:03:44] And I wish I had some whiskey and a gun

[00:03:48] My dear
