Testo Who Are You - Tom Waits
Testo della canzone Who Are You (Tom Waits), tratta dall'album Bone Machine
Well, they're lining up
To mad dog your Tilt-A-Whirl
Three shots for a dollar, win a real life doll
All the lies that you tell
I believed them so well
Take them back
Take them back to your red house
For that fearful leap into the dark
Oh, well, I did my time
In the jail of your arms
Now Ophelia wants to know
Where she should turn
Tell me, what did you do?
What did you do the last time?
Why don't you do that?
Well, go on ahead
And take this the wrong way
Time's not your friend
Do you cry? Do you pray?
Do you wish them away?
Are you still leaving nothing
But bones in the way?
Did you bury the carnival
With the lions and all?
Excuse me while I sharpen my nails
And just who are you?
Who are you this time?
You look rather tired
Are you pretending to love?
Well, I hear that it pays well
How do your pistol and your Bible
And your sleeping pills go?
Are you still jumping out of windows
In expensive clothes?
Well, I fell in love
With your sailor's mouth
And your wounded eyes
You better get down on the floor
Don't you know this is war?
Tell me, who are you this time?
Tell me, who are you this time?
