RAIN DOGS
(Waits)
Tom Waits - 1985
Inside a broken clock,
Splashing the wine with all the rain dogs
Taxi, we'd rather walk,
Huddle in a doorway with the rain dogs
For I am a rain dog, too
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds
The rum pours strong and thin,
Beat out the dustman with the rain dogs
Aboard a shipwreck train,
Give my umbrella to the rain dogs
For I am a rain dog, too
Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home
Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home
