Fumblin` With The Blues — текст песни (Tom Waits)

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 and you`ve still got to choose

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-shyster shaking my head
When I should be living clean instead

You know the ladies I`ve been seeing off and on
Well they spend your love and then they`re gone
You can`t be lovin` someone who is savage and cruel
Take your love and then they leave on out of town
No they do

Well now fallin` in love is such a breeze
But its standin` up that`s so hard for me
I wanna squeeze you but I`m scared to death I`d break your back
You know your perfume
Well it won`t let me be

You know the bartenders all know my name
And they catch me when I`m pulling up lame
And I`m a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head
When I should be living clean instead

Come on baby
Let your love light shine
Gotta bury me inside of your fire
Because your eyes are `nough 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
