Artist/Band: Tom Waits
Lyrics for Song: Bottom Of The World
Lyrics for Album: Orphans [Fold-Out Digipak With 24-Page Booklet] [2006]



My Daddy told me, lookin back

The best friend you'll have is a railroad track

So when I was 13 I said, I'm rollin' my own,

And I'm leaving Missouri and I'm never coming home



And I'm lost

And I'm lost

I'm lost at the bottom of the world

I'm handcuffed to the Bishop and the barbershop liar

I'm lost at the bottom of the world



Satchel puddin' and Lord God Mose

Sittin' by the fire with a busted nose

That fresh egg yeller is too damn rare

But the white part is perfect for slickin' down your hair



And I'm lost

And I'm lost

I'm lost at the bottom of the world

I'm handcuffed to the Bishop and the barbershop liar

I'm lost at the bottom of the world



Blackjack Ruby and Nimrod Cain

The moon's the color of a coffee stain

Jesse Franks and Birdy Joe Hoax

But who is the king of all of these folks?



And I'm lost

And I'm lost

I'm lost at the bottom of the world

I'm handcuffed to the Bishop and the barbershop liar

I'm lost at the bottom of the world



Well I dined last night with Scarface Ron

On Telapia fish cakes and fried black swan

Razorweed onion and peacock squirrel

And I dreamed all night about a beautiful girl



And I'm lost

And I'm lost

I'm lost at the bottom of the world

I'm handcuffed to the Bishop and the barbershop liar

I'm lost at the bottom of the world



Well God's green hair is where I slept last

He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass

Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird

And when I wanna talk he

hangs on every word



And I'm lost

And I'm lost

I'm lost at the bottom of the world

I'm handcuffed to the Bishop and the barbershop liar

I'm lost at the bottom of the world
