Rain Dogs
Tom Waits Lyrics


Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine
With all the Rain Dogs
Taxi, we'd rather walk
Huddle a doorway with the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog, too

Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

The Rum pours strong and thin
Beat out the dustman
With the Rain Dogs
Aboard a shipwreck train
Give my umbrella to the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog, too

Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home

Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home, aah

Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine
With all the Rain Dogs
Taxi, we'd rather walk
Huddle a doorway with the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog, too
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds
The Rum pours strong and thin
Beat out the dustman
With the Rain Dogs
Aboard a shipwreck train
Give my umbrella to the Rain Dogs
For I am a Rain Dog, too
Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home
Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tralee

Tom Waits is a mad poet, a hustler, a hobo, a train conductor for the heartbroken.

Paula Whannell

I love that.

@Jeffrey Kesselman exactly....what an incredibly fascinating human Tom is.

I don't always listen to Tom Waits, but when I do, I hurt my throat singing along

Thomas Tobey

My favorite song by Tom is the song "Alice". It took a while to sink in, and it often does take a few listens to sink in. Sometimes I have to drive around and wait for it to become my favorite music.I will listen to an album in a graveyard. It took me driving through the scariest rainstorm before I finally appreciated Miles Davis.
