Rain Dogs - Lyrics

Rain Dogs
(Tom Waits 1985)
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 with the Rose of Tralee
Her long hair was black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home

The rum it pours strong and thin, beat out the dustman with the rain dogs
And all aboard a shipwreck train, give my umbrella to 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

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