Anywhere I Lay My Head

Tom Waits · Rain Dogs [1985]

My head is a-spinning 'round

My heart is in my shoes

I went and set the Thames on fire

Now I must come back down



She's laughing in her sleeve, boys

I can feel it in my bone



Anywhere, anywhere I wanna lay my head

I wanna call my home



I see that the world is upside down

Seems that my pockets were filled up with gold

And now a cloud gonna cover everything up

And the wind's blowing cold



I don't need anybody

Because I learned

I learned to be alone



I said anywhere, anywhere

Anywhere I lay my head, boys

I will call my home
