Tom Waits - Tango Til They're Sore lyrics

Your rating:

Well you play the terrontela 

All the hounds will start to roar

The boys all go to hell

And then the Cubans hit the floor.

They drive along the pipeline

They tango til theyre sore

They take apart their nightmares

And they leave em by the door.



chorus:

Let me fall out of the window

With confetti in my hair

Deal out jacks or better

On a blanket by the stairs

I ll tell you all my secrets 

But I lie about my past 

Will you send me off to bed 

Forevermore.



Just make sure they play 

My theme song,

I guess daisies will have to do,

Just get me to 

New Orleans and paint shadows 

On the pews.

Turn the spit on that pig

And kick the drum that let me down.

Put my clarinet beneath your bed

Til I get back in town.



Then just let me

Fall out of the window 

With confetti in my hair

Deal out jacks or better

On the blanket by the stairs.

I tell you all my secrets

But I lie about my past

Will you send me off

To bed forevermore.



Just make sure shes all in calico

And the colour of a doll

A flag on a Cadillac

Hang a skillet on the wall.

Cut me a switch

Oh hold your breath 

till the sun goes down

Write my name on the hood

Send me off to another town.
