He´s sitting in his room with a razor in his hand
a one way ticket to a foreign land
thinking about his life, what he´s done and all the joy
wondering why he has been their toy
BUT YOU KNOW THAT
WE ALL LOVE YOU
THEY LOVE YOU
WE LOVE YOU
WHEN YOU ARE DEAD
She´s laying in her bed, the disease is in her veins
quarantine has locked her up in chains
dreaming of a world where the weak can get a chance
she feels her life is running out of her hands
BUT YOU KNOW THAT
WE ALL LOVE YOU
THEY LOVE YOU
WE LOVE YOU
WHEN YOU ARE DEAD
He´s driving his old car on the traffic-jammed highway
on his way home after a fucked up day
he sees another car on the wrong side of the road
nothing can be done to save his soul
BUT YOU KNOW THAT
WE ALL LOVE YOU
THEY LOVE YOU
WE LOVE YOU
WHEN YOU ARE DEAD(Tom Waits)
Hang on St. Christopher
Through the smoke and the oil
Pumpin' iron around the scene
Let the radiator boil
Got no back down shift
And a two dollar grill
Got an '85 cab
......
*Hang on St. Christopher
On the passenger side
Open it up tonight
So the devil can ride
Hang on St. Christopher
With a ballast door
Kick me up ...
Throw me out in the fog
Tell ... Jack ...
Drive a stake through his heart
Do a hundred on the grapevine
Do a jump on the start
Hang on St. Christopher
Now don't let me go
Get me to Reno
And bring it in low, low
Hang On St. Christopher
With the hammer to the floor
Put a highball in the crankcase
Nail a crow to the door
Give me a bottle for the jockey
Give me a two ...
There's a certain ...
Bustin' down Johnny's door
(*Repeat)
Let the devil ride
Let the devil ride
Let the devil ride
Hang On St. Christopher
Now don't let me go
Get me to Reno
Got to bring it in low
Put my baby on a flatcar
Tell 'em to burn down the caboose
Get 'em all jacked up with whiskey
And we'll turn the mad dog loose
(*Repeat)
Let him ride, let him ride
Let him ride, let him ride
Let him ride, let him ride
HAng on St. Christopher
Through the smoke and the oil
Get me to Reno
And bring it in low, low ...
