Testo Lucinda / Ain't Goin Down To The Well - Birmingham - 07/03/08 - Tom Waits

Testo della canzone Lucinda / Ain't Goin Down To The Well - Birmingham - 07/03/08 (Tom Waits), tratta dall'album Glitter And Doom Live (Remastered)

Well they call me William the Pleaser

I sold opium, fireworks, and lead

Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers

When the shadows get long I'll be dead.

Now her hair was as black as a bucket of tar

Her skin as white as a cuttlefish bone

I left Texas to follow Lucinda

Now I'll never see heaven or home

I made a wish on a sliver of moonlight

A sly grin and a bowl full of stars

I was like a kid who captures a firefly

And leaves it only to die...

Now as I kick at the clouds at my hanging

As I swing out over the crowd

I will search every face for Lucinda's

And she will go off with me down to hell

The devil dances inside empty pockets

Oh but she never wanted money or pearls

No that wasn't enough for Lucinda

She wasn't that kind of girl

Well I thought I'd broke loose of Lucinda

The rain returned and so did the wind

I cast this burden on the god that is within me

And I'll leave this old world.

They call me William the Pleaser

I sold opium, fireworks, and lead

Now I'm telling my troubles to strangers

When the shadows get long I'll be dead
