Tom Waits - The One That Got Away слова песни




Well this gigolo`s jumping salty, ain`t no trade out on the streets,Half past the unlucky, and the hawk`s a front-row seatDressed in full orchestration, stage-door Johnny`s got to pay, And sent him home talking `bout the one that got awayCould have been on Easy Street, could have been a wheel, With irons in the fire and all them business dealsBut the last of the big-time losers shouted before he drove away, "I`ll be right back, as soon as I crack the one that got away"Well, the ambulance drivers, they don`t give a shit, They just want to get off work, andThe short stop and the victim are already gone berserkAnd the shroud-tailor measures him for a deep-six holiday, The stiff is froze, the case is closed on the one that got awayNow Jim Crow`s directing traffic with them cemetery blues, With them peculiar-looking trousers, them old Italian shoesAnd a wooden kimono that was all ready to drop in San Francisco BayBut he`s mumbling something all about the one that got awayAnd Costello was the champion at the St. Moritz Hotel, And the best this side of Fairfax, reliable sources tellBut his reputation is at large, and he`s at Ben Frank`s every day,Waiting for the one that got awayHe got a snakeskin sportshirt, and he looks like Vincent Price,With a little piece of chicken, and he`s carving off a sliceSomeone tipped her off, and she`ll be doing a Houdini now any dayShe shook his hustle, and a Greyhound bus`ll take the one that got awayWell, Andre`s at the piano behind the Ivar in the sewers, With a buck a shot for pop tunes, and a fin for guided toursHe could-a been in "Casablanca", he stood in line out there all dayNow he`s spilling whiskey and learning songs about a one that got awayWell I`ve lost my equilibrium and my car keys and my pride, The tattoo parlor`s warm, and so I hustle there insideAnd the grinding off the buzz-saw, "What you want that thing to say?"I says, "Just don`t misspell her name, buddy, she`s the one that got away"
