(Tom Waits/K. Brennan)
|
|
They're lining up
|
To mad dog your tilta whirl
|
3 shots for a dollar
|
Win a real live doll
|
All the lies that you tell
|
I believed them so well. Take them back
|
Take them back to your red house
|
For that fearful leap into the dark
|
I did my time
|
In the jail of your arms
|
Now Ophelia wants to know
|
Where she should turn
|
Tell me...what did you do
|
What did you do the last time?
|
Why don't you do that
|
Go on ahead and take this the wrong way
|
Time's not your friend
|
Do you cry. Do you pray
|
Do you wish them away
|
Are you still leaving nothing
|
But bones in the way
|
Did you bury the carnival
|
Lions and all
|
Excuse me while I sharpen my nails
|
And just who are you this time?
|
You look rather tired
|
(Who drinks from your shoe)
|
Are you pretending to love
|
Well I hear that it pays well
|
How do your pistol and your Bible and your
|
Sleeping pills go?
|
Are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?
|
|
Well I fell in love
|
With your sailor's mouth and your wounded eyes
|
You better get down on the floor
|
Don't you know this is war
|
Tell me who are you this time?
|
Tell me who are you this time?
|

Who Are You
