《Small Change(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:20] Artist：tom waits

[00:00:22] Songs Title：small change

[00:00:43] Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight

[00:00:54] And nobody flinched down by the arcade

[00:00:59] And the marquees weren't weeping they went stark-raving mad

[00:01:04] And the cabbies were the only ones that really had it made

[00:01:08] And his cold trousers were twisted and the sirens high and shrill

[00:01:14] And crumpled in his fist was a five-dollar bill

[00:01:18] And the naked mannequins with their Cheshire grins

[00:01:23] And the raconteurs and roustabouts said 'Buddy come on in 'cause

[00:01:29] 'Cause the dreams ain't broken down here now they're walking with a limp

[00:01:34] Now that Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight'

[00:01:40] And nobody flinched down by the arcade

[00:01:44] And the burglar alarm's been disconnected

[00:01:47] And the newsmen start to rattle

[00:01:50] And the cops are telling jokes about some whorehouse in Seattle

[00:01:57] And the fire hydrants plead the Fifth Amendment

[00:02:00] And the furniture is bargains galore

[00:02:03] But the blood is by the jukebox on an old linoleum floor

[00:02:09] And what a hot rain on Forty-Second Street

[00:02:12] And now the umbrellas ain't got a chance

[00:02:15] And the newsboy's a lunatic with stains on his pants 'cause

[00:02:20] 'Cause Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight

[00:02:26] And no one's gone over to close his eyes

[00:02:29] And there's a racing form in his pocket

[00:02:32] Circled 'Blue Boots' in the third

[00:02:36] And the cashier at the clothing store didn't say a word

[00:02:41] As the siren tears the night in half and someone lost his wallet

[00:02:46] Well a surveillance of assailance it that's what you want to call it

[00:02:53] And the whores hike up their skirts and fish for drug-store prophylactics

[00:02:59] With their mouths cut just like razor blades and their eyes are like stilettos

[00:03:05] And her radiator's steaming and her teeth are in a wreck and nah

[00:03:09] She won't let you kiss her but what the hell do you expect

[00:03:13] And the Gypsies are tragic and if you want to buy perfume

[00:03:17] Well they'll bark you down like carneys sell you Christmas cards in June but

[00:03:24] But Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight

[00:03:30] And his headstone's a gumball machine

[00:03:33] No more chewing gum or baseball cards or overcoats or dreams

[00:03:39] Someone's hosing down the sidewalk and he's only in his teens 'cause

[00:03:45] 'Cause Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight

[00:03:51] And a fistful of dollars can't change that

[00:03:55] And someone copped his watch fob and someone got his ring

[00:04:00] And the newsboy got his porkpie Stetson hat

[00:04:03] And the tuberculosis old men at the Nelson wheeze and cough

[00:04:10] And someone will head south until this whole thing cools off 'cause

[00:04:17] 'Cause Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight yeah

[00:04:23] Small Change got rained on with his own thirty-eight
