What Are You Listening to Now VI

Nihilo

Nihilo

BANNED
Banned
Crack Hitler


Spoiler
Sink the eight ball
Buy the lady a drink
And nobody knows my name

Bodies float up
From the bottom of the river
Like bubbles in fine champagne

He's the one, no doubt
Walkin' on a tightrope
He's the one, no doubt

Got a gash on my head
And a grin on my face
And a shadow called danger

Hidin' in the sheets
And on the streets
In the heart of every stranger

Here he comes, look out
We're dependin' on you
Here he comes, look out

Sweat on the brow
And a tap on the phone
And lives are on the line

Pick up the briefcase
On a high speed chase
Breathin' by the roll of the dice

Reachin' up to the top
Teach the world a lesson
Reachin' up to the top

In regards to my usage of the drug,
It modified my personality
To the extent that I was highly irritable
I was like a crack Hitler​

Keep up the fight
And in the wink of an eye
Never give up
Ooo..ahh..
look out

Originally from "Closing Time", but also found on "The Early Years" collection, which is a fantastic introduction to Tom Waits.
