Tom Waits Lyrics
"Tango Til Theyre Sore"

Well you play the terrontela
All the hounds will start to roar
The boys all go to hell
And then the Cubans hit the floor.
They drive along the pipeline
They tango til theyre sore
They take apart their nightmares
And they leave em by the door.

chorus:
Let me fall out of the window
With confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better
On a blanket by the stairs
I ll tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
Will you send me off to bed
Forevermore.

Just make sure they play
My theme song,
I guess daisies will have to do,
Just get me to
New Orleans and paint shadows
On the pews.
Turn the spit on that pig
And kick the drum that let me down.
Put my clarinet beneath your bed
Til I get back in town.

Then just let me
Fall out of the window
With confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better
On the blanket by the stairs.
I tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
Will you send me off
To bed forevermore.

Just make sure shes all in calico
And the colour of a doll
A flag on a Cadillac
Hang a skillet on the wall.
Cut me a switch
Oh hold your breath
till the sun goes down
Write my name on the hood
Send me off to another town.

(chorus)
