tom waits - bottom of the world lyrics
my daddy told me, lookin back
the best friend you’ll have is a railroad track
so when i was 13 i said, i’m rollin’ my own,
and i’m leaving missouri and i’m never coming home
and i’m lost
and i’m lost
i’m lost at the bottom of the world
i’m handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
i’m lost at the bottom of the world
satchel puddin’ and lord god mose
sittin’ by the fire with a busted nose
that fresh egg yeller is too d-mn rare
but the white part is perfect for slickin’ down your hair
and i’m lost
and i’m lost
i’m lost at the bottom of the world
i’m handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
i’m lost at the bottom of the world
blackjack ruby and nimrod cain
the moon’s the color of a coffee stain
jesse franks and birdy joe hoax
but who is the king of all of these folks?
and i’m lost
and i’m lost
i’m lost at the bottom of the world
i’m handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
i’m lost at the bottom of the world
well i dined last night with scarface ron
on telapia fish cakes and fried black swan
razorweed onion and peac-ck squirrel
and i dreamed all night about a beautiful girl
and i’m lost
and i’m lost
i’m lost at the bottom of the world
i’m handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
i’m lost at the bottom of the world
well god’s green hair is where i slept last
he balanced a diamond on a blade of gr-ss
now i woke me up with a cardinal bird
and when i wanna talk he
hangs on every word
and i’m lost
and i’m lost
i’m lost at the bottom of the world
i’m handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
i’m lost at the bottom of the world
