Tom Waits from the album 'Rain Dogs'
[Verse]
Am
Edna Million in a drop-dead suit
E7
Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
Am
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
16 men on a deadman's chest
E7
And I've been drinking from a broken cup
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
Am
I'm full of bourbon; I can't stand up
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Hey little bird, fly away home
E7 Am
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Dm Am
Hey little bird, fly away home
E7 Am
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
[Verse]
Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head
And I've been stepping on the devil's tail
Across the stripes of a full moon's head
Through the bars of a Cuban jail
Bloody fingers on a purple knife
A flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
Come admire the view from up on top of the mast
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Hey little bird, fly away home
E7 Am
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Dm Am
Hey little bird, fly away home
E7 Am
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
[Verse]
Yellow sheets on a Hong Kong bed
Stayzbo horn and a Slingerland ride
"To the carnival" is what she said
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside
Edna Million in a drop-dead suit
Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
