lirik lagu tom waits - thousand bing bangs
tw: she drove a big ol’ lincoln with suicide doors and a sewing machine
in the back
kn: thousand bing bangs near the end. nothing’s ever what it was
tw: and a light bulb that looked like an alligator egg was mounted up
front on the hood
kn: had myself a kind of brainstorm. took a table spoon of buzz
tw: and she had a tattoo gun that she’d made herself from a c-ssette
motor and a guitar string
kn: x-ray eyes can see right through me. naked thought, put on your
clothes
tw: and she always had leaves in her hair
kn: you hear that funny laughing? just the caw of ancient crows
tw: and she cut two holes in the back of her dress, cause she had these
scapular wings
kn: somewhere near the raveled edges, by the pool of think-a-bit
tw: and they were covered with feathers and electrical tape, and when
she got good and drunk she would sing
kn: once again the notion hits me: half is quite a bit of wit
tw: about elkhart, indiana, where the wind is tall and folks mind their
own business
kn: power up that upper story. ten percent is all you use
tw: and she had a hundred old baseb-lls that she’d taken from kids, and
she collected bones of all kinds
kn: take a flight of simple fancy. you’re the one who has to choose
tw: and she lived in a trailer under the bridge, and she made her own
whiskey and gave cigarettes to kids
kn: okay. all right for you. look into the tiger’s eye
tw: and she’d been struck by lightning seven or eight times, and she
hated the mention of rain
kn: see if you can see the desert. pour a drink, my throat is dry
tw: and she made up her own language and she wore rubber boots. she
could fix anything with string
kn: poetry ain’t gonna catch me. climb up this high plateau
tw: and her lips were like cherries, and she was stronger than any man
and she smelled like nutmeg and p-ss
kn: finish up what you were thinking, just a day or so ago
tw: and she put mud on a bee sting i got at the crick, and she gave me
my very first kiss
kn: ill-strate for visionaries: go buy a doodle pad. basically
