Tom Waits Follow

Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did.
I got what I paid for now.
See you tomorrow. Hey, Frank, can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you to go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda?
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me.

I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here.
No one speaks English and everything's broken
And my Stacy's are soaking wet to go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda.
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me.

Now the dogs are barking
And the taxi cabs parking,
A lot they can do for me.
I begged you to stab me.
You tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight.
Old Bushmill's, I staggered,
You buried the dagger
In your silhouette window light to go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda.
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me.

Now I've lost my St Christopher now that I've kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick Chinamen and the cold-blooded signs
And the girls down by the striptease shows go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda.
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me.

No, I don't want your sympathy. The fugitives say
That the streets aren't for dreaming now.
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,
They want a piece of the action anyhow, go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda.
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me.

And you can ask any sailor and the keys from the jailer
And the old men in wheelchairs know
That Matilda's the defendant. She killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda.
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me.

And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace
And a wound that will never heal.
No prima donna, the perfume is on
An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers,
The night watchman flame keepers,
And goodnight, Matilda, too.
