Lyrics Cold Water - Tom Waits

Well I woke up this morning with the cold water
With the cold water, with the cold water
Woke up this morning with the cold water
With the cold water, with the cold

Well the police at the station and they don't look friendly
Well they don't look friendly, well they don't look friendly
The police at the station and they don't look friendly
Well they don't look friendly, well they don't

Blind or crippled, sharp or dull
I'm reading the Bible by a 40 watt bulb
What price freedom, dirt is my rug
Well I sleep like a baby, with the snakes and the bugs

Well the stores are open but I ain't got no money
Well I ain't got no money, well, I ain't go no money
Stores are open but I ain't got no money
Well I ain't got no money, well I ain't

Found an old dog and he seems to like me
Seems to like me, well he seems to like me
Found an old dog and he seems to like me
Well he seems to like me, well he seems

Seen them fellows with the cardboard signs
Scrapin' up a little money to buy a bottle of wine
Pregnant women and the Vietnam vets are still
Beggin' on the freeway 'bout as hard as it gets

Well I slept in the graveyard, it was cool and still
Cool and still, it was cool and still
Slept in the graveyard, it was cool and still
Cool and still, and it was cool

Slept all night in the Cedar grove
I was born to ramble, born to rove
Some men are searchin' for the Holy Grail
But there ain't nothin' sweeter than ridin' the rails

I look 47 but I'm 24
Well they shoo'ed me away from here the time before
Turned their backs and they locked their doors
I'm watching TV in the window of a furniture store

And I woke up this morning with the cold water
With the cold water, with the cold water
I woke up this morning with the cold water
With the cold water, with the cold

Well I woke up this morning with the cold water
The cold water, with the cold water
Woke up this morning with the cold water
The cold water, with the cold
