Never had too much to offer. My pride is all I got. I'm tired of voices telling me I'm crazy and you know that there talking a lot. Did you think you could fool me? Must have known it would come out. And I'm tired of the whispers I'm hearing over my shoulder and you know what they're talking about. Cause I've spent to long avoiding altercations. And I won't be hanging around to avoid investigations. I don't know why Id waste anymore of my time with a girl like you.
I guess I should have seen it coming. All the things I didn't see. And I'm tired of the fingers pointing my direction… there'll be no more pointing at me.(gypsy)
(Tom Waits)
When I was a boy, the moon was a pearl the sun a yellow gold.
But when I was a man, the wind blew cold the hills were upside down.
But now that I have gone from here there's no place I'd rather be
than to float my chances on the tide Back in the good old world.
On October's last I'll fly back home rolling down winding way.
Scare crows are all dressed in rags out at the edge of the field I lay
and all I've got's a pocket full of flowers on my grave.
Oh but summer is gone I remember it best
Back in the good old world.
