Wrong Side of the Road  - Tom Waits

    Put a dead cat on the railroad 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 you say you'll never snitch
    take the buttons from a yellow jacket
    the feafrom a buzzard
    and thr blood from a bounty hunters cold black heart
    catch the tears of a widow
    in a thimble made of glass
    tell your mama and papa
    they can kick 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 amusement park for me
    strangle all the christmas carols
    scratch out all your prayers
    tie em up with barbed wire
    and push them down the stairs
    and i'll whittle you a pistol
    for keeping nightmares of the blinds
    those sunabitches always seem to sneake up from behind
    syphon all the gas from your daddys pickup truck
    fill up johnnys t bird
    i got a couple of bucks
    put a little perfume and ribbon in your hair
    careful that you don't wake up the hounds
    tear a bolt of lightning
    of the side of the sky
    and throw it in the cedar chest
    if you want to tell me why
    bring the gear shift knob from a 49 merc
    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 little girl to let go of my sleeve
    you'll be a woman when i catch you
    as you fall 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
