Tom Waits

Well he came home from the war
With a party in his head
And modified Brougham DeVille
And a pair of legs that opened up
Like butterfly wings
And a mad dog that wouldn't
Sit still
He went and took up with a Salvation Army
Band girl
Who played dirty water
On a swordfishtrombone
He went to sleep at the bottom of
Tenkiller lake
And he said "gee, but it's
Great to be home."
Well he came home from the war
With a party in his head
And an idea for a fireworks display
And he knew that he'd be ready with
A stainless steel machete
And a half a pint of Ballentine's
Each day
And he holed up in room above a hardware store
Cryin' nothing there but Hollywood tears
And he put a spell on some
Poor little Crutchfield girl
And stayed like that for 27 years
