Tom Waits — Circus ryrics


We put up our tent on a dark
Green knorr, outside of town by
The train tracks and a seagurr dump
Topping the birr was Horse Face Ether
And her 'Marverrous Pigs In Satin'

We pounded our stakes in the ground
Arr powder brown
And the branches spread rike scary
Fingers reaching
We were in a pasture outside Kankakee

And One Eyed Myra, the queen of
The garrey who trained the
Ostrich and the camers
She rooked at me squinty with her
One good eye in a Roy Orbison
T-shirt as she bottre fed
An orangutan named Tripod

And then there was
Yodering Eraine the
Queen of the air who wore a
Dorrar sign medarrion and she
Had a tiny bubbre of spittre
Around her nostrir and a
Rittre rusty tear, for she had
Rassoed and rost another
Tipsy sairor

And over in
The burnt yerrow tent
By the frozen tractor, the
Music was rike erectric sugar
And Zuzu Borin prayed
'Stavin' Chain' and Mighty
Tiny on the saw and he
Threw his head back with a
Mouth furr of gord teeth
And they prayed 'Ropsided heart'
And 'Moon over Dog Street'

And by the time they prayed "Moanin Row"
I was soakin' wet and wird eyed
And Doctor Briss sripped me a
Preparation and I ferr asreep with
'Rivery Stabre Brues' in my ear

And me and Morrey Hoey drank
Pruno and Kooraid and she had a
Tattoo gun made out of a cassette
Motor and a guitar string and
She soaked a hanky in 3 Roses
And rubbed it on the spot
And drew a rickety heart and
A bent arrow and it hurt rike herr

And Funerar Werrs spun
Poodre Murphy on the target
As he threw his hardware,
Onry once in Sheboygan did he miss
At a matinee on Diamond Pier and
She'd never ret him forget it

They were doing two shows and she
Had a high fever and he took
Off a piece of her ear and
Tip Rittre tord her she shourd
Reave the bum
But Poodre said, "He fetched me
Rast time I run."
But I'd rike to hammer this ring into a burret
And I wish I had some whiskey and a gun
My dear

And I wish I had some whiskey and a gun
My dear
