Lyrics What Else Is New - Tom Waits
Well,
your
skeletons
in
the
closet
are
introducing
themselves
The
knick-knacks
wisecrack
there
on
the
shelf
You
told
him
that
you
loved
him,
but
he's
hissin'
at
you
What
else
is
new,
what
else
is
new,
what
else
is
new
Cause
your
old
man's
a
counterfeit,
your
daughter's
a
lush
It's
you
and
Mickey
Spillane,
and
the
lady's
in
a
hush(?)
Someone's
stealin'
your
heart,
someone's
stealin'
your
car
What
else
is
new
Well
now,
your
creditors
hate
you,
and
so
do
your
kids
Your
footballin'
sweetheart
is
down
on
the
skids
And
now
the
parks
are
full
of
fugitives,
the
trees
are
on
fire
What
else
is
new,
what
else
is
new
Now
you
see,
the
cigarette
machines
are
busted,
you
can't
get
no
change
And
somebody
cancels
everything
you
arrange
For
every
invitation
gets
your
RSVP
What
else
is
new,
what
else
is
new,
what
else
is
new,
what
else
is
new
Well
now,
the
rockin'
chair's
busted,
your
ashtrays
are
full
Your
evenings
and
your
afternoons
are
usually
dull
So
you
toast
to
the
Toastmaster
toaster
and
you
What
else
is
new,
what
else
is
new,
what
else
is
new,
what
else
is
new
You
gotta
tell
me,
what
else
is
new
What
else
is
new
What
else
is
new,
what
else
is
new,
what
else
is
new
What
else
is
new
