Tom Waits

Crestfallen sidekick
In an old cafe
It slept with a dream
Before he had to go away
There's a bell in the tower
Uncle Ray bought a round
Don't worry 'bout the army
In the cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground

Now don't be a cry baby
When there's wood in the shed
There's a bird in the chimney
And a stone in my bed
And the road's washed out
We pass the bottle around
And wait in the arms
Of the cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground

There's a ribbon in the willow
And a tire swing rope
A briar patch of berries
Takin' over the slope
The cat'll sleep in the mailbox
And we'll never go to town
Bury every dream
In the cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground

Give me a Winchester rifle
And a whole box of shells
Blow the roof off the goat barn
Let it roll down the hill
The piano is firewood
Times Square is a dream
Lay down together
In the cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground

Call the cops on the Breedloves
Bring a bible and a rope
Whole box of rebel
And a bar of soap
Make a pile of trunk tires
And burn 'em all down
Bring a dollar with you baby
In the cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
