paroles de chanson Wrong Side of the Road - Tom Waits

Put a dead cat on the railroad tracks
When the wolf bains blooming by the tressel
Get the eyeball of a rooster, stones from a ditch
Wash 'em down with bilge water
Say you'll never snitch

Take the buttons from a yellow jacket
Feather from a buzzard
Blood from the bounty hunters, cold black heart
Catch the tears of a widow in a thimble made of glass
Tell your mama and your papa
They can kiss your ass

Poison all the water in the wishin' well
Hang all them scarecrows from a sycamore tree
And burn down them honeymoons and put 'em in a pillow case
Wait next to the switch blades at the amusement park for me

Strangle all the Christmas carols, scratch out all you prayers
Tie 'em up with barbed wire, push them down the stairs
I'll whittle you a pistol
Keepin' nightmares off your blinds
Them sons of bitches always seem to sneak up from behind

Syphon all the gas from your daddy's pickup truck
Fill up Jonny's T-Bird, I got a couple bucks
Put on little perfume and ribbon in your hair
Be careful that you don't wake up the hounds

Tear a bolt of lightning from the side of the sky
Throw her in the cedar chest
If you want me, I'll tell you why
Bring the gear shift knob from a 49 mere
Lie down here beside me, let me hold you in the dirt

You're gonna tremble
Tear the throat out of the night
Sink your teeth into my shoulder
Dig your nails into my back
Tell that little girl to let go of my sleeve
You'll be a woman when I catch you
Come baby, fall in love with me

With my double barrel shotgun
A whole box of shells
We'll celebrate the 4th of July
We'll do a hounfred miles an hour spendin' someone elses dough
Drive all the way to Reno on the wrong side of the road

Wrong side of the road
On the wrong side of the road
Wrong side of the road

Wrong side of the road
Wrong side of the road
