Every post in this thread shall be a line (or more) from a Tom Waits song

[TomAz]

There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb
You're as mad as a hatter, thin as a dime

[rskapcat]

Feel like I'm in heaven when you're with me...know that I'm in heaven when you smile.

[fikus222]

'Cause I'm the ice cream man, I'm a one-man band (yeah)
I'm the ice cream man, honey, I'll be good to you

[bmack86]

In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king, so take this ring

[Miroir Noir]

And she wants you to steal and get caught, For she loves you for all that you are not

[Mugwog]

"Oooooouuuuuuggghhhhhhhhhhhhh"

[Gribbz]

Nobody knows they're lining up to go insane
I'm all alone, I smoke my friends down to the filter
But I feel much cleaner after it rains

[icedKeg]

Let's put a new coat of paint
On this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, we'll be knocking 'em down
You wear a dress
Baby I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that Burgundy sky

[TomAz]

If you get far enough away, you'll be on your way back home

[TomAz]

How does he dream, how does he think
When he can't even speak, and he can't even blink

[fikus222]

Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,

[algunz]

I'm so Goddamn horny the crack of dawn better be careful around me.

[Gigger]

And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at!

[xanman86]

WHAT IS HE BUILDING IN THERE?

[BROKENDOLL]

I only made it as far as "Every post in this thread will be a line or more from Tom..." Silly me...

[Hannahrain]

He said: you cannot live in the ocean. And she said to him: you never can live in the sky. But the ocean is filled with tears, and the sea turns into a mirror. There's a whale in the moon when it's clear, and a bird on the tide.

[zircona1]

I'll shoot the moon
Riiiiiiiiiight out of the skyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[rage patton]

Let me fall out the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better on a blanket by the stairs

[algunz]

It's colder than a gut shot bitch wolf dog with 9 sucking pups pullin' a 4 trap up a hill in the dead of winter in the middle of a snowstorm with a mouth full of porcupine quills

[Still-ill]

Well with buckshot eyes and a purple heart
I rolled down the national stroll
With a big fat paycheck strapped to my hip sack
And a shore leave wristwatch beneath my sleeve...

[Still-ill]

Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet

[fatbastard]

Well I don't want no Anna Zabba

Don't want no Almond Joy

There ain't nothing better

Suitable for this boy

Well it's the only thing

That can pick me up

Better than a cup of gold

See only a chocolate Jesus

Can satisfy my soul

[garynvegas]

I'm gonna love you 'til the wheels come off.

[xuclarockerx]

i'm big in japan

[Hannahrain]

I shot the morning in the back with my redwings on, told the sun he'd better go back down. If I can find a book of matches, I'm going to burn this hotel down. You've got to tell me, brave captain, why are the wicked so strong? How do the angels get to sleep when the devil leaves the porchlight on?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

God builds a church
The devil builds a chapel
Like the thistles that are growing
'round the trunk of a tree
All the good in the world
You can put inside a thimble
And still have room for you and me

[kronz420]

Warm beer and cold women

[TomAz]

Auntie Mame has gone insane
She lives in the doorway of an old hotel
And the radio is playing opera
All she ever says is 'go to hell'.

[Gribbz]

I met you in the saddle, rode you in the dust
Held your hand to the heavens, pulled your heart to the earth

[fikus222]

I'm on a roll just like a pool ball baby
I'm gonna be there at the roll call maybe
