Tom Waits Lyrics

"Smuggler's Waltz" lyrics


Daggers of moonlight
Murder the sheets
in the stink of a four dollar room
And Daddy's gone a-hunting
for a dimebag of schoolboy
Tied up with a yellow balloon

So hush little baby
daddy must go
I'll cover you up with a blanket of snow
By the time I make Jersey
you'll be in heaven
In a pretty blue shoe box, I know

So sing a song of ten grand
with a pocket full of dough
And I can't take you to Baltimore
Wake God up in heaven
Have him look down below
There's a little lost angel
blooming in the snow
