《Burma Shave》歌词

[00:00:00] Burma Shave - Tom Waits (汤姆·威兹)

[00:00:21] Licorice tattoo turned a gun metal blue

[00:00:29] Scrawled across the shoulders Of a dying town

[00:00:40] The one eyed jacks across the railroad tracks

[00:00:47] And the scar on it's belly pulled a stranger

[00:00:54] Passing through

[00:01:00] He was a juvenile delinquent

[00:01:04] Never learned how to behave

[00:01:08] But the cops would never think to look in

[00:01:12] Burma shave

[00:01:24] And the road was like a ribbon

[00:01:28] And the moon was like a bone

[00:01:33] He didn't seem to be like any guy

[00:01:37] She'd ever known

[00:01:41] He kinda looked like farley granger

[00:01:45] With his hair slicked back

[00:01:48] She says i'm a sucker for a fella

[00:01:53] In a cowboy hat

[00:01:59] How far are you going

[00:02:03] He said depends on what you mean

[00:02:08] He says i'm only stopping here

[00:02:12] To get some gasoline

[00:02:17] I'm guess I'm going thataway

[00:02:20] Just as long as it's paved

[00:02:24] I guess you'd say i'm on my way

[00:02:29] To Burma shave

[00:02:40] And her knees up on the glove compartment

[00:02:45] Took out her barrettes

[00:02:49] And her hair spilled out like rootbeer

[00:02:53] And she popped her gum

[00:02:56] And arched her back

[00:02:59] Hell marysville ain't nothing

[00:03:03] But a wide spot in the road

[00:03:07] Some night my heart pounds just like thunder

[00:03:12] I don't know why

[00:03:14] It don't explode

[00:03:17] Cause everyone in this stinking town

[00:03:20] Has got one foot in the grave

[00:03:24] And i'd rather take my chances out in

[00:03:28] Burma shave

[00:03:40] Presley's what i go by

[00:03:43] Why don't you change the station

[00:03:48] Count the grain elevators in the rearview mirror

[00:03:57] Mister anywhere you point this thing

[00:04:01] Has got to beat the hell out of the sting

[00:04:06] Of going to bed with every dream

[00:04:12] That dies here every morning

[00:04:16] And so drill me a hole with a barber pole

[00:04:24] I'm jumping my parole just like a fugitive tonight

[00:04:32] Why don't you have another swig

[00:04:36] And pass that car if you're so brave

[00:04:41] I wanna get there before the sun comes up

[00:04:46] In Burma shave

[00:04:57] And the spider web crack

[00:04:59] And the mustang screamed

[00:05:04] Smoke from the tires

[00:05:07] And the twisted machine

[00:05:12] Just a nickel's worth of dreams

[00:05:16] And every wishbone that they saved

[00:05:20] Lie swindled from them on the way

[00:05:25] To Burma shave

[00:05:36] And the sun hit the derrick

[00:05:40] And cast a bat wing shadow

[00:05:44] Up against the car door on the shot gun side

[00:05:52] And when they pulled her from the wreck

[00:05:56] You know she

[00:05:58] Still had on her shades

[00:06:01] They say that dreams are growing wild

[00:06:05] Just this side

[00:06:08] Of Burma shave
