Tom Waits
Текст песни Tango Till They're Sore

Well you play that tarantella 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 they're sore

They take apart their nightmares and they leave them by the door

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

And send me off to bed for evermore



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 and let me down

Put my clarinet beneath your bed 'til I get back in town

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

So send me off to bed for evermore



Just make sure she's all in calico and the color of a doll

Wave the flag on Cadillac day, and a skillet on the wall

Cut me a switch or hold your breath 'til the sun goes down

Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town

And just let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair

Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs

Tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past

Will you send me off to bed for evermore



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

Send me off to bed for evermore

Send me off to bed for evermore
