Jockey Full Of Bourbon

Tom Waits

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 in the pouring rain 
16 men on a deadman's chest 
And I've been drinking from a broken cup 
2 pairs of pants and a mohair vest 
I'm full of bourbon; I can't stand up. 
Chorus: 
Hey little bird, fly away home 
Your house is on the fire; your children all alone 
Hey little bird, fly away home 
Your house is on the fire; your children all alone 
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 coctail glass 
I'm on the lawn with somebody else's wife 
Come admire the view from up on top of the mast 
Chorus 
Yellow sheets in a Hong Kong bed 
Stazybo horn and a Slingerland ride 
To the carnival is what she said 
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside
