Lyrics A Sweet Little Bullet From A Pretty Blue Gun - Tom Waits

A Sweet Little Bullet From A Pretty Blue Gun

Its raining its pouring
And you didnt bring a sweater
Nebraska will never let you come back home
And on hollywood and wine
By the thrifty mart sign
Any night Ill be willin to bet
Theres a young girl
With sweet little wishes
And pretty blue dreams
Standin there and gettin all wet
Now theres a place off the drag
Called the gilbert hotel
Theres a couple letters burned out in the sign
And its better than a bus stop
And they do good buisness
Every time it rains
For sweet little girls
With nothing in their jeans
But sweet little wishes
And pretty blue jeans
Now its raining its pouring
The old mam is snoring
Now I lay me down to sleep
I hear the sirens in the street
All the dreams are made of chrome
I have no way to get back home
Id rather die before I wake
Like marilyn monroe
And throw my jeans out in The street and the rain will make em grow
Now the night clerk he got a club foot
And hes heard every hard luck story
At least a hundred times or more
He says check out time is 10 am And thats just what he means
And you go up the stairs
With sweet little wishes
And pretty blue dreams
Now its raining its pouring
And hollywods just fine
Swindle a little out of her dreams
Put a letter in the sign
Never trust a scarecrow
Wearin shades after dark
Be careful of that old bow tie he wears
It takes a sweet little bullet
From a pretty blu gun
To put those scarlet ribbons in your hair
No that aint no cherry bomb
4th of julys all done
Just some fool playin that second line
From the barrel of a pretty blue gun
No that aint no cherry bomb
4th of julys all done
Just some fool playin that second line
From the barrel of a pretty blue gun
