Artist/Band: Tom Waits
Lyrics for Song: Fumblin' with the Blues
Lyrics for Album: Original Album Series [2011]



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

They catch me when I'm pulling up lame

I'm a pool shootin' shimmy shyster

Shakin' my head

When I should be livin' clean instead



You know the ladies I've been seein' off and on

They spend your love and then they're gone

You can't be loving someone who's selfish and cruel

Take your love and then they leave on out of town

You know they do



Well now falling in love is such a breeze

But it's standin up that's so hard for me

I want to squeeze you but i'm scared to death i'll break your back

You know your perfume

It won't let me be



You know the bartenders, they all know my name

They catch me when I'm pulling up lame

I'm a pool shootin' shimmy shyster

Shakin' my head

When I should be livin' clean instead



Come on baby

Let your love light shine

You gotta bury me inside of your fire

Because your eyes're enough to blind me

You're like looking at the sun

You gotta whisper, tell me I'm the one

Come on and whisper, tell me I'm the one

You gotta whisper, tell me I'm the one

Come on and whisper, tell me I'm the one
