Tom Waits Bottom Of The World Lyrics

well my daddy told me, looking back
the best friend you'll have is a railroad track
so when i was 13 i said ;i'm rolling my own
and i'm leaving missouri and i'm never coming home;

and i'm lost(x2)
and i'm lost at the bottom of the world
i'm handcuffed to the bishop in the barber shop lot
i'm lost at the bottom of the world

satchel pudding and lord, god knows
sitting by the fire with a busted nose
that fresh egg yellow is too d___ rare
but the white part's perfect for slicking down your hair

and i'm lost(x2)
and i'm lost at the bottom of the world
i'm handcuffed to the bishop in the barber shop lot
i'm lost at the bottom of the world

blackjack ruby and nimrod king
the moon's the color of a coffee stain
who cares if frank emburdened your host?
but who is the king of all of these folks?

and i'm lost(x2)
and i'm lost at the bottom of the world
i'm hanging up your picture in the barber shop lot
i'm lost at the bottom of the world

well i dined last night with scar faced ron
on talabia fish cakes and fried black swan
razor weed onion and peakcock squirrel
and i dreamed all night, about a beautiful girl

and i'm lost(x2)
and i'm lost at the bottom of the world
i'm handcuffed to the bishop in the barber shop lot
i'm lost at the bottom of the world

well gods green hair is where i slept last
he balanced a diamond on a blade of grass
and al woke me up with a cardinal bird
and when i want to talk he hangs on every word

and i'm lost(x2)
and i'm lost at the bottom of the world
i'm handcuffed to the bishop in the barber shop lot
i'm lost at the bottom of the world
