Tom Waits - Who Are You Lyrics

Lyrics Who Are You - Tom Waits



They're lining up
To mad dog your tilt-a-whirl
Three 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
Well, 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
Well, 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?
But you still leaving nothing
But bones in the way
Did you bury the carnival?
With the lions and all
Excuse me while I
I sharpen my nails
And just who are you?
Who are you this time?
You look rather tired
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?
