TOM WAITS lyrics : "Depot, Depot"

Depot, depot, what am I doing here?
Depot, depot, what am I doing here?
I ain't coming, I ain't going

My confusion is showing
Outside the midnight wind is blowing Sixth Avenue
I'm gonna paint myself blue

At the depot

I watch the taxis pull up and idle

I can't claim title to a single memory
He offered me a key
'Cause opportunity don't knock

He has no tongue and she cannot talk
You're gonna shuffle when you walk
At the depot


This peeping-Tom needs a peephole
And an uptempo song

To move me along
When I find this depot baby
I'm on a roll just like a pool ball baby

I'm gonna be there at the roll call maybe
At the depot


Outside the midnight wind is blowing Sixth Avenue
Oh, tell me what a poor boy to do
At the depot

I'm on a roll just like a pool ball baby
I'm gonna be there at the roll call maybe
At the depot

The depot
