Tom Waits

You dance real slow
You wreck it down
You walk away, then you
Turn around
What did that old blonde
Gal say?
That is the part...
You throw away
I want that beggars eyes
A winning horse
A tidy Mexican divorce
St. Marys prayers
Houdinis Hands
And a Barman who always
Understands
Will you loose the flowers
Hold on to the vase
Will you wipe all those teardrops
Away from your fase
I cant help thinking
As I close the door
I have done all of this
Many times before
The bone must go
The wish can stay
The kiss dont know
What the lips will say
Forget Ive hurt you
Put stones in your bed
And remember to never
Mind instead
Well all of your letters
Burned up in the fire
Time is just memory
Mixed in with Desire
Thats not the road it is
Only the map...I say
Gone just like matches
From a closed down cabaret
In a Portuguese Saloon
A fly is a circling around
The room
Youll soon forget the
Tune that you play
For that is the part
You throw away
Ah, that is the part
You throw away
[ The Part You Throw Away Lyrics ]
