eli waltz - tourin' the thrush lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
tourin’ the thrush
and over the moon
spilled glass o’ milk
i got the blues
worn to the bone
and late walks alone
tall tales of withering
tomes

[verse 2]
first fistfight follows
a crash at the ball
the king tries to tell her
“go home”
but she runs the gambling rings
and runs to the phone
cries, “operator
we’re through”

[chorus]
tell them that jack the knife
is more than a friend
tell them they look good
just dance
see that young barman
he came and he went
see that my mother gets home
see that dad’s shoes will be worn
[verse 3]
rockabye rolls on
the locomotive
feeling around
in the dark
but chair gets knocked over
and i lose the blues
finally found
the old man

[chorus]
sharpen your knives
for generations
tie the noose high
for your friends
i’ll be just watchin’
dancing bears thrash
carnies’ll be popping the corn
louie can be found by his h+rn

[instrumental break]

[bridge]
gone out the ward
finally free
find the old farm
and chop that old tree
get out my morgue
i need to breathe
whoo
[chorus]
lord the game’s over
it’s time to admit
pass me the telephone
cranes in the car wash
stare as we sin
you hangin’ onto my arm
swear i ain’t lost my charm
