Testo di 'Tango 'til They're Sore' di Tom Waits

Well, you play that tarantella
All the hounds will start to roar
The boys all go to hell
And then the Cubans hit the floor
They drive along the pipeline
They tango 'til they're sore
They take apart their nightmares
And they leave 'em by the door

Let me fall out of the window
With confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or Better
On a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
And send me off to bed for evermore

Make sure they play my theme song
I guess daisies will have to do
Just get me to New Orleans
And paint shadows on the pews
Turn the spit on that pig
And kick the drum and let me down
Put my clarinet beneath your bed
'Til I get back in town

Let me fall out of the window
With confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or Better
On a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
And send me off to bed for evermore

Just make sure she's all in calico
And the color of a doll
Wave the flag on Cadillac day
And a skillet on the wall
Cut me a switch or hold your breath
'Til the sun goes down
Write my name on the hood
Send me off to another town

And just let me fall out of the window
With confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or Better
On a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
And send me off to bed for evermore

Fall out of the window
With confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or Better
On a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets
But I lie about my past
Send me off to bed for evermore
Send me off to bed for evermore
Send me off to bed for evermore
