Fumblin' with the blues

(Т. Вэйтс)

1. Friday left me fumblin' with the blues.
And it's hard to win when you always lose.
Because the nightspots spend your spirit
Beat your head against the wall
Two dead-ends you still got to choose.

2. You know the bartenders they all know my name.
And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame.
And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyester
Shaking my head
When I should be living clean in stead.

3. You know the ladies I've been seeing off and on
Well they spend your love then they're gone.
You can't be loving someone
Who is savage and cruel
Take your love and then they leave on out of town.
No they do!

4. When I'm falling in love, It's such a breeze
But it's standing up that's so hard for me.
I wanna sqeeze you but I'm scared to death
I'll break your back instead.
You know your perfume, well it won't let me be.

2. You know the bartenders they all know my name.
And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame.
And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyester
Shaking my head
When I should be living clean in stead.

5. So come on baby, let your love light shine.
Gotta bury me inside of your fire.
'Cause your eyes are enough to blind me
You're like a-looking at the sun.
You gotta whisper tell me I'm the one.
Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one,
Gotta whisper tell me I'm the one.
Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one.
