《Once Upon A Town/Empty Pockets》歌词

[00:00:00] Once Upon A Town/Empty Pockets - Tom Waits (汤姆·威兹)

[00:00:46] I wish I had a dollar

[00:00:48] For each time I took a chance

[00:00:53] On all those two-bit Romeos

[00:00:57] Who counterfeit romance

[00:01:02] Somehow always thinking

[00:01:04] Of the last time I fell down

[00:01:10] Knowing that you fall in love

[00:01:14] Once upon a town

[00:01:22] As I slow down on purple avenues

[00:01:29] To march around in April's shoes

[00:01:37] The weathervanes remind

[00:01:43] Of summertimes that I've left behind

[00:01:52] All the money's gone for Auld Lang Syne

[00:01:59] I spent on Eastern Standard Time

[00:02:05] What happened to my roll

[00:02:08] September fell right through the hole

[00:02:12] All I've got is empty pockets now

[00:02:21] Oh why does August try so hard

[00:02:28] To hoist me on my own petard

[00:02:36] I've learned one thing from losing her

[00:02:42] An ounce of prevention's worth a pound of cure

[00:02:50] The shadows fall I cannot thread

[00:02:58] The tenor of the things you've said

[00:03:03] All that's left is flesh and bone

[00:03:06] The lights are on but no one's home

[00:03:10] All I've got is empty pockets now

[00:03:18] I spill myself another drink

[00:03:26] I count the whiskers in the sink

[00:03:33] The orchestra is blind

[00:03:39] But I've never been the worrying kind

[00:03:47] Subsequently and furthermore

[00:03:55] I'll sleep right here on the draining board

[00:04:00] I will never be paroled

[00:04:04] I like to drink them while they're cold

[00:04:07] All I've got is empty pockets now
