Tom Waits Story - Tango 'Til They're Sore Lyrics

Thank you.
Well you know you've made it when you're playing out by the airport.
A lot of places to get donuts out here.
You've gotta love the business.
You all look great.
Were you told what to wear?
Okay, well, 'um.
Gee, it's just like a small club.
Well, let's see, 'um.
Well, some songs come out of the ground, just like a potato.
Others, you have to make them out of things you've found.
Like your mother's pool cue, and you know, your dad's army buddy, and your sister's wristwatch, and that type of thing.
You'd be surprised what you can find, if you're, you know, resourceful.
I ran into a guy who I hadn't see in about twenty years.
And then he told me various things that had happened to him,
and all of them were terrible.
Not all of them, but most of them were terrible.
So anyway, this is kind of about that.
And, then there's confetti in this song.
And, I feel that no one should really go anywhere without confetti.
Especially, gearing up for the big one!
