Tom Waits Cold Water Lyrics

Well I woke up this morning
with the cold water
with the cold water
with the cold water
Woke up this morning
with the cold water
with the cold water
with the cold

Police at the station
and the donīt look friendly
Well they donīt look friendly
Well they donīt look friendly
Police at the station
and the donīt look friendly
They donīt look friendly well
they donīt

Blind or crippled
Sharp or dull
Iīm reading the bible
by a 40 watt bulb
What price freedom
Dirt is my rug
Well I sleep like a baby
with the snakes and the bugs

Well the stores are open
but I ainīt got no $
I ainīt got no $
Stores are open but I
ainīt got no $ainīt got no $
Well I ainīt

Found an old dog a
and he seems to like me
seems to like me
Well he seems to like me
Found an old dog and he
seems to like me
seems to like me
well he seems

See them fellows
with the card board signs
scrapin up a little $
to buy a bottle of wine
Pregnat women and
the Vietnam vets I say
beggin on the freeway
Bout as hard as it gets

Well I slet in the graveyard
it was cool and still
cool and still
it was cool and still
Slept in the graveyard
it was cool and still
cool and still and it
was cool

Slept all night in the Cadar grove
I was born to ramble
born rove
Some men are searchin for
the holy grail
but there ainīt nothin sweeter
than ridin the rails

(Solo)

I look 47 but Iīm 24
Well they shooed me away
from here the time before
Turned there their backs
and they locked their doors
Iīm watchin T.V. in
the window of a furniture store

Well I woke up this morning
with the cold water
with the cold water
with the cold water
Woke up this morning
with the cold water
with the cold water
with the cold
