Tom Waits

My daddy told me, lookin back,
The best friend youll have is a railroad track
So when I was 13 said, Im rollin my own
And Im leavin Missouri and Im never comin home
And Im lost
And Im lost
Im lost at the bottom of the world
Im handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
Im lost at the bottom of the world.
Satchel Puddin and Lord God Mose
Sitting by the fire with a busted nose
That fresh egg yeller is too damn rare
But the white part is perfect for slickin down your hair
And Im lost
And Im lost
Im lost at the bottom of the world
Im handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
Im lost at the bottom of the world.
Blackjack Ruby and Nimrod Cain
The moons the color of a coffee stain
jesse Frank and Birdy Joe Hoaks
But who is the king of all these folks?
And Im lost
And Im lost
Im lost at the bottom of the world
Im handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
Im 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 peacock squirrel
And I dreamed all night about a beautiful girl
And Im lost
And Im lost
Im lost at the bottom of the world
Im handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
Im lost at the bottom of the world.
Well Gods green hair is where I slept last
He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass
Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird
And when I wanna talk
He hangs on every word
And Im lost
And Im lost
Im lost at the bottom of the world
Im handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
Im lost at the bottom of the world
[ Bottom Of The World Lyrics ]
