Artist/Band: Tom Waits
Lyrics for Song: On The Other Side Of The World
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Tom Waits



There's a blue eyed girl with a red bow tie

And a string of pearls with one good eye

In a rainy town the chimney smoke will curl

No one likes clowns on the other side of the world

And the children know she'll never let me go.



There's a one legged priest that tangos with the farmers wife

Beauty and the beast is taking her own life

And a tear on a letter back home turns into a lake of your own

And a crow turns into a girl on the other side of the world



And she tastes like the sea and she's waiting for me



In the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only rose

And he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.



And I drink champagne from your thin blue veins



She visits his grave wearing her mother's shawl

Should I shave or end it all.

There's an old sailor song that the children know

As their fingers curl around the other side of the world



On a bone white mare lost in kathleen's hair



In the spring the weeds will show that he brought back the only rose

And he gave it to his girl on the other side of the world.
