Time Lyrics

(Waits)
Tom Waits - from Rain Dogs (1985)

Well, the smart moneys on Harlow

And the moon is in the street

The shadow boys are breaking all the laws

And youre 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

Its raining hammers, its raining nails

Yes, its true, theres nothing left for him down here

Chorus:

And its Time Time Time

And its Time Time Time

And its Time Time Time

That you love

And its Time Time Time

And they all pretend theyre Orphans

And their memorys like a train

You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
Amos Tori - Time - http://motolyrics.com/amos-tori/time-lyrics.html
And the things you cant remember

Tell the things you cant forget that

History puts a saint in every dream

Well she said shed stick around

Until the bandages came off

But these mamas boys just dont know when to quit

And Matilda asks the sailors are those dreams

Or are those prayers

So just close your eyes, son

And this wont 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 shes 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
