This One's From The Heart (Tom Waits 1982)
I should go out and honk the horn, it's Independence Day Instead I'll just pour myself a drink It's got to be love, I've never felt this way Oh baby, this one's from the heart The shadows on the wall look like a railroad track I wonder if he's really coming back The moon's a yellow stain across the sky Oh baby, this one's from the heart Maybe I'll go down to the corner and get a racing form But I should probably wait here by the phone And the brakes need adjustment on the convertible Oh baby, this one's from the heart The worm is climbing the avocado tree Rubbing it's back against the wall Pour myself a double sympathy Oh baby, this one's from the heart And blondes, brunettes and redheads put their hammer down To pound a cold chisel through my heart But they were nothing but apostrophes Oh baby, this one's from the heart I can't tell, is that a siren or a saxophone? But the roads get so slippery when it rains I love you more than all these words can ever say Oh baby, this one's from the heart
