Cold
Cold Ground - Tom Waits
Crest
fallen sidekick in an old cafe
never
slept with a dream before he had to go away
there's
a bell in the tower
Uncle
Ray bought a round
don't
worry about the army
in the
cold cold ground
now
don't be a cry baby
when
there's wood in the shed
there's
a bird in the chimmney
and
a stone in my bed
when
the road's washed out
they
pass the bottle around
and
wait in the arms
of the
cold cold ground
cold
cold ground
there's
a ribbon in the willow
and
a tire swing rope
and
a briar patch of berries
takin
over the slope
the
cat'll sleep in the mailbox
and
we'll never go to town
til
we bury every dream in
the
cold cold ground
cold
cold ground
gimme
a Winchester rifle and a whole box of shells
blow
the roof off the goat barn
let
it roll down the hill
the
piano is firewood
times
square is a dream
I find
we'll lay down together in the cold cold ground
cold
cold ground
cold
cold ground
call
the cops on the Breedloves
bring
a bible and a rope
and
a whole box of rebel
and
a bar of soap
make
a pile of trunk tires
and
burn 'em all down
bring
a dollar with you baby
in the
cold cold ground
cold
cold ground
take
a weathervane rooster
throw
rocks at his head
stop
talking to the neighbors
til
we all go dead
beware
of my temper
and
the dog that I've found
break
all the windows in the
cold
cold ground
cold
cold ground
