Who Are You Lyrics by Tom Waits

Who Are You Lyrics

    (tom waits/k. brennan)

    They're lining up
    To mad dog your tilta whirl
    3 shots for a dollar
    Win a real live doll
    All the lies that you tell
    I believed them so well. take them back
    Take them back to your red house
    For that fearful leap into the dark
    I did my time
    In the jail of your arms
    Now ophelia wants to know
    Where she should turn
    Tell me...what did you do
    What did you do the last time?
    Why don't you do that
    Go on ahead and take this the wrong way
    Time's not your friend
    Do you cry. do you pray
    Do you wish them away
    Do you still leave nothing
    But bones in the way
    Did you bury the carnival
    Lions and all
    Excuse me while i sharpen my nails
    And just who are you this time?
    You look rather tired
    (who drinks from your shoe)
    Are you pretending to love
    Well i hear that it pays well
    How do your pistol and your bible and your
    Sleeping pills go?
    Are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?

    Well i fell in love
    With your sailor's mouth and your wounded eyes
    You better get down on the floor
    Don't you know this is war
    Tell me who are you this time?
    Tell me who are you this time?
