Fumblin With The Blues — текст песни (Tom Waits)

Friday left me fumblin with the blues

And its hard to win when you always lose

Because the nightspots spend your spirit

Beat your head against the wall

Two dead ends and youve still got to choose



You know the bartenders

They all know my name

And they catch me when Im pulling up lame

And Im a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head

When I should be living clean instead



You know the ladies Ive been seeing off and on

Well they spend your love and then theyre gone

You cant be lovin someone who is savage and cruel

Take your love and then they leave on out of town

No they do



Well now fallin in love is such a breeze

But its standin up thats so hard for me

I wanna squeeze you but Im scared to death Id break your back

You know your perfume

Well it wont let me be



You know the bartenders all know my name

And they catch me when Im pulling up lame

And Im a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head

When I should be living clean instead



Come on baby

Let your love light shine

Gotta bury me inside of your fire

Because your eyes are nough to blind me

Youre like a-looking at the sun

You gotta whisper tell me Im the one

Come on and whisper tell me Im the one

Gotta whisper tell me Im the one

Come on and whisper tell me Im the one
