Текст песни Eggs & Sausage - Tom Waits

Nighthawks at the diner of Emma's Forty-Niner
There's a rendezvous of strangers around the coffee urn tonight
All the gypsy hacks and the insomniacs
Now the paper's been read
Now the waitress said
"Eggs and sausage and a side of toast
Coffee and a roll
Hash browns over easy
Chile in a bowl
With burgers and fries
What kind of pie?"
It's a graveyard charade, it's a late shift masquerade
And it's two for a quarter, dime for a dance
Woolworth's rhinestone diamond earrings and a sideways glance
Now the register rings, now the waitress sings
"Eggs and sausage and a side of toast
Coffee and a roll
Hash browns over easy
Chile in a bowl
Burgers and fries
What kind of pie?"
Now well, the classified section offers no direction
It's a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud
Now the touch of your fingers lingers burning in my memory
I've been eighty-sixed from your scheme
Now I'm in a melodramatic nocturnal scene
Now I'm a refugee from a disconcerted affair
Now the lead pipe morning falls, now the waitress calls
"Eggs and sausage, now a side of toast
Coffee and a roll
Hash browns over easy
Chile in a bowl
With burgers and fries
Now, what kind of pie?"
À la mode if you will
Just come in and join the crowd
Had some time to kill, yeah
You see, I just come in to join the crowd
Had some time to kill
Just come in to join the crowd
'Cause I had some time to kill
"Thank you."
