歌词

[00:21.40] He's got the hands of a blind piano player
[00:24.84] He's got a feel for the dark like a soothsayer
[00:28.97] He takes a little bow and tips his fedora
[00:32.55] Shouts like he's gonna save Sodom and Gomorrah
[00:35.16]
[00:35.73] Workin' for the circus X railroad bum
[00:40.17] Carnival barker for kingdom dot come
[00:43.06] Dusty ol' Gibson opposable thumb
[00:46.61] Bangs out the rhythm on a 50-gallon drum
[00:49.25]
[00:49.75] Don't wait for Tom
[00:53.48] Tom's long gone
[00:54.93] He's already moved on
[00:56.64] Don't wait for Tom
[01:00.49] I saw an ol' '55 Buick
[01:02.65] Just before dawn
[01:03.83] I said, Hey, hey Tom
[01:07.63] The sun's comin' up
[01:09.04] You got your wipers on
[01:10.49]
[01:11.51] Are you tryna make it rain again?
[01:14.72] Are you tryna make it rain again?
[01:17.95] Is it rainin' just around your bend?
[01:21.47] Are you tryna make it rain again?
[01:24.39]
[01:39.59] Sittin' in a corner with his pet muskrat
[01:43.09] Tossin' his cards into an old man's hat
[01:46.61] He grins at the girls and they always grin back
[01:50.90] He bets an old waltz he could get 'em in the sack
[01:53.14]
[01:53.76] He makes his own music from the bell of a 'bone
[01:57.36] A waitress's falsie and a railroad phone
[02:00.89] Bobs on his knees to an old tarantella
[02:04.61] South of the border he stole it from a fella
[02:06.94]
[02:07.34] Don't wait for Tom
[02:11.33] Tom's long gone
[02:12.77] He's already moved on
[02:14.89] Don't wait for Tom
[02:18.10] I saw an ol' '55 Buick
[02:19.93] Just before dawn
[02:21.63] I said, Hey, hey Tom
[02:25.11] The sun's comin' up
[02:26.96] You got your wipers on
[02:28.73]
[02:29.07] Are you tryna make it rain again?
[02:32.01] Are you tryna make it rain again?
[02:35.67] Is it rainin' just around your bend?
[02:39.17] Are you tryna make it rain again?
[02:41.35]
[02:43.25] His triple-jointed juke fingers splay like a scarecrow
[02:46.52] He kneels down and whistles to a fallen sparrow
[02:50.34] His eyes light up when they wheel in a piano
[02:53.86] He reads a dirty joke out of an old Baptist hymnal
[02:56.82]
[02:57.70] He wears a tuxedo made of sackcloth and ashes
[03:00.73] Has a tattoo of a girl who can bat her eyelashes
[03:04.46] Down on the river he was fishin' with a sword
[03:08.07] He knocked off John the Baptist for a word from the Lord
[03:10.04]
[03:11.90] He takes his coffee with the blood of a turnip
[03:14.99] Blushes his cheeks with an Amsterdam tulip
[03:18.90] Choppin' up a rooster for a pullet surprise
[03:22.10] If the gravy don't getcha he'll getcha with his eyes
[03:23.90]
[03:25.32]
[03:25.89] Don't wait
[03:26.83]
[03:32.62] Hey Tom
[03:35.43]
[03:37.23] The sun's comin' up
[03:38.11] You got your wipers on
[03:39.37] Don't wait for Tom
[03:43.29] The sun's comin' up
[03:44.86] You got your wipers on
[03:46.25]
[03:46.70] Hey Tom
[03:47.94] Ohoh,Tom
[03:48.65]
[03:55.73]
[03:57.49]
[03:57.79] ~the end~
[03:58.54]
[04:00.87]
