Cold Water

The glorious return of the Sunday water-blip, after a reasonably non-stressful day at work, and a productive few hours at the keyboard. Seems like I don't have too many words left in me today, so I'll give you some of Tom Waits' words instead.

Well I woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold water
Woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold

Police at the station
And they don't look friendly
Well they don't look friendly
Well they don't look friendly
Police at the station
And they don't look friendly
They don't look friendly well
They don't

Blind or crippled, sharp or dull
I'm reading the Bible by a 40 watt bulb
What price freedom, dirt is my rug
Well I sleep like a baby, with the snakes and the bugs

Well the stores are open
But I ain't got no money
I ain't got no money
Stores are open but I
Ain't got no money
Ain't got no money
Well I ain't

Found an old dog
And he seems to like me
Seems to like me
Well he seems to like me
Found an old dog and he
Seems to like me
Seems to like me
Well he seems

Seen them fellows with the cardboard signs
Scrapin up dollars to buy a bottle of wine
Pregnant women and the Vietnam vets
I say beggin on the freeway bout as hard as it gets

Well I slept in the graveyard
It was cool and still
Cool and still
It was cool and still
Slept in the graveyard
It was cool and still
Cool and still and it was cool

Slept all night in the Cedar grove
I was born to ramble, born to rove
Some men are searchin for the Holy Grail
But there ain't nothin sweeter than ridin the rails

I look 47, but I'm 24
Well they shooed me away from here the time before
Turned their backs and they locked their doors
I'm watching TV in the window of a furniture store

Well, I woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold water
Woke up this morning
With the cold water
