Tom Waits - Wrong Side of the Road

put a dead cat on the railraod tracks 
when the wolf bains blooming by the tressel 
and get the eyeball of a rooster 
and the stones from a ditch 
and wash em down with bilge water 
and say you'll never snitch 
take the buttons from a yellow jacket 
the feather from a buzzard 
and the blood from the bounty hunters cold black heart 
catch the tears of a window 
in a thimble made ofglass 
tell your mamaand your papa 
theycan kiss your ass 
poison all the water in the wishin' well 
and hang all them scarecrows from a sycamore tree 
burn down all those honeymoons 
put em in a pillow case 
and wait next to the switch blades at the amusements park for me 
strangle all the cristmas carols 
scratch out all you prayers 
tie em up with barbed wire 
and push them down the stairs 
and i'll whittle you a pistol 
for reepin' nightmares off the blinds 
those sunsabitches always seem to sneak up from behind 
syphom all the gas from your daddys pickup truck 
fill up jonnys t bird 
i got a couple bucks 
put on little perfume and ribbon in your hair 
careful that you don't wake up the hounds 
tear a bolt of lightning 
off the side of the sky 
and throw in the cedar chest 
if you want me to tell you why 
bring the gear shift knob from a 49 mere 
and lay down here beside me 
let me hold you in the dirt 
and you'll tremble as the flames 
tear the throat out of the night 
sink your teeth into my shoulder 
dig your nails into my back 
tell that lettle girl to let go of my sleeve 
you'll be awoman when i catch you 
as you faqll in love with me 

then with my double barrel shotgun 
and a whole box of shells 
we'll celebrate the 4 of july 
we'll do 100 mph 
spendin' someone elses dough 
and we'll drive all the way to reno 
on the wrong side of the road
