lyrics

Please turn off this barnyard disco
I know I should leave
But I couldn't stay more
Tomorrow I'll feel like I've soaked
In burnt Crisco
Hey waitress, my whiskey drink is tray-sore

Don't wiggle that thing for me no more
If I tip you now
It'll make you a whore
Be careful, or you just might get what you ask for
Tease the devil with the keys
To your back door

Wait, no weight
Too heavy I say
Bring me a Coors Light
Better make it three
And it's all over for a waitress to see
It's all over at quarter to 3
And it's all over for me

Now we all know Tom Waits waits for no one
Accordions and bourbon
And rain dogs and shot guns
We've all fallen out of one of Tom's songs
One of the fly-on-the-wall-of-nowhere ones
But I'm proud to say there's no pride
In all these lies and hate and fornication
And that's the truth as it's come to be known here
And knowing is half the frustration

Wait, no weight
Too heavy I say
Bring me an angel, better make it 3
And it's all over for a blind fool to see
Hot bottle depot rot at about 2:43
And it's all over me

Spin your partner gold lamay
Everything's one big cliche
Do Me Til I Puke by Faberge
Oh, Jesus. Make the devil go away

Wait, no weight
Too heavy I say
Pour me a story of some grande victory
And it's all over for the whole world to see
And it's all over at quarter to 3
And it's all over for me.
