Текст песни Burma-Shave - Tom Waits
A
licorice
tattoo
Turned
a
gun
metal
blue
Scrawled
across
the
shoulders
Of
a
dying
town
Took
the
one-eyed
Jacks
Across
the
railroad
tracks
And
the
scar
on
it's
belly
Pulled
a
stranger
Passing
through
He's
a
juvenile
delinquent
Never
learned
how
to
behave
But
the
cops
would
never
think
to
look
In
Burma-Shave
And
the
road
was
like
a
ribbon
And
the
moon
was
like
a
bone
He
didn't
seem
to
be
Like
any
guy
she'd
ever
known
He
kinda
looked
like
Farley
Granger
With
his
hair
slicked
back
She
says
"I'm
a
sucker
for
a
fella
in
a
cowboy
hat"
How
far
are
you
going
He
said,
"Depends
on
what
you
mean"
He
says,
"I'm
only
stopping
here
To
get
some
gasoline"
And
I
guess
I'm
going
that
away
Just
as
long
as
it's
paved
I
guess
you'd
say
"I'm
on
my
way
To
Burma-Shave"
And
with
her
knees
upon
the
glove
compartment
She
took
out
her
barrettes
And
her
hair
spilled
out
like
root
beer
And
she
popped
her
gum
and
arched
her
back
Hell,
Marysville
ain't
nothing
But
a
wide
spot
in
the
road
Some
nights
my
heart
pounds
like
thunder
Don't
know
why
it
don't
explode
'Cause
everyone
in
this
stinking
town
Has
got
one
foot
in
the
grave
And
I'd
rather
take
my
chances
Out
in
Burma-Shave
Presley's
what
I
go
by
Why
don't
you
change
the
stations
Count
the
grain
elevators
In
the
rearview
mirror
She
said,
"Mister
anywhere
you
point
this
thing
It
got
to
beat
the
hell
out
of
the
sting
Of
going
to
bed
With
every
dream
That
dies
here
every
mornin'"
And
so
drill
me
a
hole
With
a
barber
pole
And
I'm
jumping
my
parole
Just
like
a
fugitive
tonight
Why
don't
you
have
another
swig?
And
pass
that
car
if
you're
so
brave
I
wanna
get
there
before
the
sun
comes
up
In
Burma-Shave
And
the
spider
web
crack
and
the
Mustang
screamed
The
smoke
from
the
tires
and
the
twisted
machine
Just
a
nickel's
worth
of
dreams
And
every
wish
bone
that
they
saved
Lie
swindled
from
them
on
the
way
To
Burma-Shave
And
the
sun
hit
the
derrick
And
cast
a
bat
wing
shadow
Up
against
the
car
door
On
the
shot
gun
side
And
when
they
pulled
her
from
the
wreck
You
know
she
still
had
on
her
shades
They
say
that
dreams
are
growing
wild
Just
this
side
Of
Burma-Shave
