Summertime... Burma Shave (исполнитель: Tom Waits)

Licorice tattoo turned a gun metal blue scrawled
across the shoulders
Of a dying town the one eyed jacks across the
railroad tracks
And the scar on it’s belly pulled a stranger
passing through
He was a juvenile delinquent never learned how to
behave
But the cops would never think to look in
Burma shave
And the road was like a ribbon and the moon was
like a bone
He didn’t seem to be like any guy she’d ever
known
He kinda looked like farley granger with his hair
slicked back
She says I’m a sucker for a fella in a cowboy
hat
How far are you going he said depends on what you
mean
He says I’m going thataway just as long as it’s
paved
I guess you’d say I’m on my way to
Burma shave

And her knees up on the [bad word] Took out her barrettes and her hair spilled out
like rootbeer
And she popped her gum and arched her back [bad word] marysville ain’t nothing but a wide spot in
the road
Some night my heart pounds just like thunder
I don’t know why it don’t explode
Cause everyone in this stinking town has got one
foot in the grave
And I’d rather take my chances out in
Burma shave

Presley’s what I go by why don’t you change the
station
Count the grain elevators in the rearview mirror
Mister anywhere you point this thing
Has got to beat the [bad word] out of the sting
Of going to bed with every dream that dies here
every mornin
And so drill me a hole with a barber pole
I’m jumping my parole just like a fugitive
tonight
Why don’t you have another swig
And pass that car if you’re so brave
I wanna get there before the [bad word] up in
Burma shave

And the spider web crack and the mustang
screamed
Smoke from the tires and the twisted machine
Just a nickel’s worth of dreams and every
wishbone that they saved
Lie swindled from them on the way to
Burma shave

And the sun hit the derrick and cast a bat wing
shadow
Up against the car door on the shot gun side
And when they pulled her from the wreck you know
she
Still had on her shades
They say that dreams are growing wild just this
side of
Burma shave
