Written by tom waits and kathleen brennan
Tonight Ill shave the mountain
Ill cut the hearts from pharoahs
I pull the road off of the rise
Tear the memories from my eyes
And in the morning Ill be gone
I drink 1000 shipwrecks
Tonight Ill steal your paychecks
I paint the sheets across my bed
The birds will all fly from my head
And in the morning Ill be gone
Take every dream thats breathing
Find every boot thats leaving
Shoot all the lights in the cafe
And in the morning Ill be gone
I bet 1000 dollars
I have a french companion
I tie myself below the deck
I pull the rope around my neck
And in the morning Ill be gone
It takes a life to win her
There is a drum of bourbon
800 pounds of nitro
His boots are thunder as he plays
Theree is a stone inside it
Tonight his bones will ride it
Ill need a tent to hide it
And in the morning Ill be gone
And in the morning Ill be gone
And in the morning Ill be gone
