"When The Money Runs Out" lyrics

"When The Money Runs Out"
(originally by Tom Waits)

Check this strange beverage that falls out from the sky
Splashin' Baghdad on the Hudson in Panther Martin's eyes
He's high and outside wearin' candy apple red
Scarlet gave him twenty seven stitches in his head
With a pint of green Chartreuse, ain't nothin' seems right
You buy the Sunday paper on a Saturday night
Well now can't you hear the thunder? Someone stole my watch
I sold a quart of blood and bought a half a pint of scotch
Someone tell those Chinamen on Telegraph Canyon Road
When you're on the bill with the spoon, there ain't no time to unload
So bye bye, baby, bye baby, buh buh bye bye

Well droopy stranger, lonely dreamer, toy puppy and the Prado
We're laughin' as we piled into Olmos' El Dorado
Jesus whispered, "Eni meany meany meany miney moe"
They're too proud to duck their heads that's why they bring it down so low
So bye bye, baby, bye baby, buh buh bye bye

Paul Greenlease ladies and gentlemen
Uh uh uh, come on danny, uh uh oh

Ladies and gentlement, Danny Montero

Well the pointed man is smack dab in the middle of July
Swingin' from the rafters in his brand new tie
He said now, "I can't go back to that hotel room, all they do is shout
But I stickin' with you baby 'til the money runs out"
So bye bye, baby, bye baby, buh buh bye bye
I said now Bye, bye baby
Bye, bye baby
Bye bye, baby, oh bye bye baby
Bye bye, baby, oh baby, buh buh bye bye

Thank you
