Tom Waits
’Til the Money Runs Out
[Verse 1]
Check this strange beverage that falls out from the sky
Splashin' Baghdad on the Hudson in Panther Martin's eyes
He's high and outside, wearin' candy apple red
Scarlett gave him twenty-seven stitches in his head
With a pint of green chartreuse, ain't nothin' seems right
You buy the Sunday paper on Saturday night
[Verse 2]
Can't you hear the thunder, someone stole my watch
I sold a quart of blood and bought a half-a-pint of scotch
Someone tell those Chinamen on Telegraph Canyon Road
When you're on the bill with the spoon, there ain't no time to unload
[Chorus]
So bye bye, baby
Baby, bye bye
[Verse 3]
Droopy Stranger, Lonely Dreamer, Toy Puppy, and the Prado
Were laughin' as they piled into Olmos' Eldorado
Jesus whispered, "Eenie meany miney moe"
They're too proud to duck their heads, that's why they bring it down so low
[Chorus]
So bye bye, baby
Baby, bye bye
[Verse 4]
The pointed man is smack-dab in the middle of July
Swingin' from the rafters in his brand-new tie
He said, "I can't go back to that hotel room, all they do is shout
But listen, baby, I'll stay with you till the money runs out"
[Chorus]
So bye bye, baby
Baby, bye bye
[Verse 1]
Check this strange beverage that falls out from the sky
Splashin' Baghdad on the Hudson in Panther Martin's eyes
He's high and outside, wearin' candy apple red
Scarlett gave him twenty-seven stitches in his head
With a pint of green chartreuse, ain't nothin' seems right
You buy the Sunday paper on a Saturday night
[Chorus]
So bye bye, baby
Baby, bye bye
[Outro]
So bye bye, baby
Baby, bye bye
So bye bye, baby
Baby, bye bye
So bye bye, baby
Baby, bye bye
