Testo Black Market Baby - Tom Waits
Testo della canzone Black Market Baby (Tom Waits), tratta dall'album Mule Variations
She lives in a house
That's way back off the road
There's a man with a lantern
And he carries her soul
A coal stove and a bed
Skillet and a hound
She drove a camel through a needle
In this sinking boardwalk town
She's my black market baby
She's my black market baby
She's a diamond who wants to stay coal
Wants to stay coal
I swang out wide with her
On Hell's iron gate
Anything that you wanted
You could have
My eyes say their prayers to her
Sailors ring her bell
Where a moth mistakes a light bulb
For the moon and goes to hell
She's my black market baby
She's my black market baby
She's a diamond who wants to stay coal
Wants to stay coal
There's no prayer like desire
There's amnesia in her kiss
She's a swan and a pistol
And she will follow you like this
In Moberly, Missouri
At the Iroquois Hotel
She checked in with the president
And she ran up quite a bill
She's my black market baby
She's my black market baby
She's a diamond who wants to stay coal
Wants to stay coal
She's whiskey in a teacup
She gives blondes a lousy name
She's a banzai Aphrodite
And a ticket back to Spain
She's a hard way to go
There ain't no way to stop
Every time you play the red
The black is coming up
She's my black market baby
She's my black market baby
She's a diamond who wants to stay coal
Wants to stay coal
My baby wants to stay coal
Coal, coal
My baby wants to stay coal
