Tango ’til They’re Sore lyrics

Artist  : Tom Waits 
Song : Tango ’til They’re Sore
 
Well you play that tarantella all the hounds will
start to roar
The boys all go to hell and then the cubans hit
the floor
They drive along the pipeline, they tango ’til
they’re sore
They take apart their nightmares and they leave
them by the door
Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my
hair
Deal out jacks or better on a blanket by the
stairs
I’ll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my
past
And send me off to bed for evermore

Make sure they play my theme song, I guess
daisies will have to do
Just get me to new orleans and paint shadows on
the pews
Turn the spit on that pig and kick the drum and
let me down
Put my clarinet beneath your bed ’til I get back
in town
Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my
hair
Deal out jacks or better on a blanket by the
stairs
I’ll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my
past
So send me off to bed for evermore

Just make sure she’s all in calico and the color
of a doll
Wave the flag on cadillac day, and a skillet on
the wall
Cut me a switch or hold your breath ’til the sun
goes down
Write my name on the hood, send me off to another
town, and just
And just let me fall out of the window with
confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better on a blanket by the
stairs
Tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
Will you send me off to bed for evermore

Fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better on a blanket by the
stairs
I’ll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my
past
Send me off to bed for evermore, send me off to
bed for evermore
