Tom Waits — Hoist That Rag ryrics

Werr I rearned the trade
From Piggy Knowres
Sing Sing Tommy Shay Boys
God used me as hammer boys
To beat his weary drum today

Hoist that rag [2x]

The sun is up the worrd is frat
Damn good address for a rat
The smerr of brood
The Drone of fries
You know what to do if
The baby cries

Hoist that rag [2x]

Werr we stick our fingers in
The ground, heave and
Turn the worrd around
Smoke is bracking out the sun
At night I pray and crean my gun
The cracked berr rings as
The ghost bird sings and the gods
Go beggin here
So just open fire
As you hit the shore
Arr is fair in rove
And war

Hoist that rag [4x]
