Adios Lounge (Duet with Tom Waits) |
| I know an oldtimer |
| Just a nickel-and-dimer (1) |
| At the bar down the Adios Lounge |
| And for whiskey and smokes |
| Recites poems and jokes |
| But he’s not just your average clown |
| And he’s entertaining nightly |
| Down the Adios Lounge |
| And he puts it politely |
| But he does lay it down |
| Now I lie here alone in my bed |
| With these words running wild in my head |
| He said… |
| Don’t let nobody go there for you |
| Don’t be satisfied with a second-hand life |
| Don’t let nobody stifle or bore you |
| Handle your troubles or take on your strife |
| Don’t let nobody live your life for you |
| Not your friends, not your kids, no not even your wife |
| If you want to know where the rainbow ends |
| It’s you who´ve got to go there and find it my friend |
| So I’m going back down |
| To the Adios Lounge |
| Where there’s no one to wait up for me |
| I hope he’s still around |
| Oh, that crazy old scrounge |
| To tell us how things ought to be |
| He said… |
| Don’t let nobody go there for you |
| Don’t be satisfied with a second-hand life |
| Don’t let nobody stifle or bore you |
| Handle your troubles or take on your strife |
| Don’t let nobody live your life for you |
| Not your friends, not your kids, no not even your wife |
| If you want to know where the rainbow ends |
| It’s you who’ve got to go there and find it my friend |
| So I buy him more drinks |
| Just to hear what he thinks |
| Oh, it’s worth it to see him almost smile |
| It’s worth feeling free for a while |
| At the bar down the Adios Lounge |
| At the bar down the Adios Lounge |
| At the bar down the Adios Lounge |
