Tom Waits
The Black Rider (2023 Remaster)
Come on along with the Black Rider
We'll have a gay old time
Lay down in the web of the black spider
I'll drink your blood like wine
So come on in, it ain't no sin
Take off your skin
And dance around in your bones, so
Come on along with the Black Rider
We'll have a gay old time
Step to your right
Hey, hold on there, little shaver
Have your tickets ready, under twelve are free
You just come along
Anchors aweigh with the Black Rider
I'll drink your blood like wine
I'll drop you off in Harlem with the Black Rider
Out where the bullets shine
And when you're done, you'll cock your gun
The blood will run like ribbons through your hair, just
Come on along with the Black Rider
We'll have a gay old time
Line forms to the left
Have your tickets ready
See the dog-faced boy
Hey, little shaver
Well, just come on along with the Black Rider
I've got just the thing for thee
Come on along with the Black Rider
I want your company
Well, I think I'll have the veal, a lovely meal
That's how I feel, oh, may I use your skull for a bowl?
Just come on along with the Black Rider
We'll have a gay old
We'll have a gay old
We'll have a gay old
We'll have a gay old
We'll have a gay old time
Step right up, have your tickets ready
Step right up, have your tickets ready
Thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you
You're too kind
