hey you..."go on ahead and take this the wrong way"

do you still leave nothing 
but bones in the way?
did you bury the carnival
lions and all
excuse me while I sharpen my nails
and just who are you this time?
you look rather tired
(who drinks from your shoe)
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?


Tom Waits
