TOM WAITS lyrics : "Talking at the Same Time"

Get a job, save your money, listen to Jane
Everybody knows umbrellas cost more in the rain
All the news is bad

Is there any other kind?
Everybody's talking at the same time
And everybody's talking at the same time


Well it's hard times for some
Ffor others it's sweet

Someone makes money when there's blood in the street
Don't take any lip
Stay in line

Everybody's talking at the same time

Well, the dog is in the kitchen and the war drags on

The trees wait by the freeway, all the money's gone
Well, she told me she would leave me
I ignored all the signs

And now everybody's talking at the same time
Everybody's talking at the same time


Ain't no one coming to pull you from the mud
You gotta build your nest high enough to ride out the flood
I know you're leaving and there's no more next time

Everybody's talking at the same time

A tiny boy sat and he played in the sand

He made a sword from a stick and a gun from his hand
Well, we bailed out all the millionaires
They've got the fruit, we've got the rind

And everybody's talking at the same time
Everybody's talking at the same time
