tom waits – shore leave lyrics
well with buck shot eyes and a purple heart
i rolled down the national stroll
and with a big fat paycheck
strapped to my hip sack
and a sh0r- leave wristw-tch underneath my sleeve
in a hong kong drizzle on cuban heels
i rowed down the gutter to the blood bank
and i’d left all my papers on the ticonderoga
and i was in bad need of a shave
and so i slopped at the corner on cold chow mein
and shot billiards with a midget
until the rain stopped
and i bought a long sleeved shirt
with horses on the front
and some gum and a lighter and a knife
and a new deck of cards (with girls on the back)
and i sat down and wrote a letter to my wife
and i said
baby, i’m so far away from home
and i miss my baby so
i can’t make it by myself
i love you so
well i was pacing myself
trying to make it all last
squeezing all the life
out of a lousy two day p-ss
and i had a cold one at the dragon
with some filipino floor show
and talked baseball with a lieutenant
over a singapore sling
and i wondered how the same moon outside
over this chinatown fair
could look down on illinois
and find you there
and you know i love you baby
and i’m so far away from home
and i miss my baby so
i can’t make it by myself
i love you so
sh0r- leave…
sh0r- leave…
