tom waits – eggs and sausage (in a cadillac with susan michelson) lyrics
[verse 1]
nighthawks at the diner of emma’s forty-niner
there’s a rendezvous of strangers around the coffee urn tonight
all the gypsy hacks and the insomniacs
now the paper’s been read, now the waitress said
[chorus]
“eggs and sausage and a side of toast
coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
chili in a bowl with burgers and fries
what kind of pie? yeah”
[verse 2]
it’s a graveyard charade, it’s a late shift masquerade
and it’s two for a quarter, dime for a dance
woolworth’s rhinestone diamond earrings and a sideways glance
now the register rings, now the waitress sings
[chorus]
“eggs and sausage and a side of toast
coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
chili in a bowl with burgers and fries
what kind of pie? yeah”
[verse 3]
now well, the cl-ssified section offers no direction
it’s a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud
now the touch of your fingers lingers burning in my memory
i’ve been eighty-sixed from your scheme
now i’m in a melodramatic nocturnal scene
now i’m a refugee from a disconcerted affair
now the lead pipe morning falls, now the waitress calls
[chorus]
“eggs and sausage, another side of toast
coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
chili in a bowl with burgers and fries
now what kind of pie?”
[outro]
à la mode if you will
just come in and join the crowd
had some time to k!ll, yeah
you see, i just come in to join the crowd
had some time to k!ll
just come in to join the crowd
’cause i had some time to k!ll
