Artist/Band: Tom Waits
Lyrics for Song: Shiny Things
Lyrics for Album: Orphans [Fold-Out Digipak With 24-Page Booklet] [2006]



The things a crow puts in its nest,

They're always things it finds that shine.

And how he'll find a shiny dime,

Silver twine, from a valentine.

The crows all bring them shiny things.



Leave me alone you big ol' moon,

The light you cast is just a lighter.

You're like the crow, ''cause if it goes,

You're dressed to go, you guessed, I know,

You'll always bring them shiny things.



Well I'm not dancing here tonight,

But things are bound to turn around.

The only thing I want that shines,

Is to be king there in your eyes.

To be your only shiny thing.
