Top Of The Hill (Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan 2004)
Stop and get me on the ride up, uh huh Can I have a little more on my voice? Stop and get me on the ride up, uh huh Going to the top of the hill I'm only going to the top of the hill New corn yellow and slaughterhouse red The birds keep singing baby after you're dead I'm gonna miss you plenty big old world Without abalone earrings and your mother of pearl, uh huh Stop and get me on the ride up, uh huh Stop and get me on the ride up, ho Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only going to the top of the hill I'm only going to the top of the hill I need your moon to be the sky against Don't get your trouser button stuck on the fence Diego red and bedlam money are fine Why don't you come up here and see me sometime? Stop and get me on the ride up, uh huh Stop and get me on the ride up, uh huh Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only going to the top of the hill I'm only going, I'm only going I'm only going to the top of the hill There's very little leeway I seen a mattress on the freeway The moon rises over Dog Street Jefferson said now everything's reet Have all the lights burned out in heaven again? I'll never roll the number seven again I'm made of bread and I'm on an ocean of wine I hear all the birdies on the phone just fine, uh huh Stop and get me on the ride up, uh huh Stop and get me on the ride up, uh huh Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only going, I'm only going I'm only going to the top of the hill Black joke and the bean soup Big sky and the Ford Coupe Old maid and the dry bones Red Rover and the Skinny Bones Jones Forty seven mules to pull this train We're getting married in the pouring rain You need your differential and plenty of oil You load the wagon till the end of the world, uh huh Stop and get me on the ride up, uh huh Stop and get me on the ride up, hey Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only going, I'm only going I'm only going to the top of the hill I'm only going to the top of the hill, hey What's your throttle made of, is it money or bone? Don't doodle or you'll never get home Opium, fireworks, vodka and meat Scoot over and save me a seat Stop and get me on the ride up, uh huh Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only going to the top I'm only going to the top I'm only going to the top of the hill, hey If I had it all to do all over again I'd try to rise above the law of man Why don't you gimme another sip of your cup Turn a Rolls Royce into a chicken coup, uh huh Stop and get me on the ride up Stop and get me on the ride up, hey Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only going to the top I'm only going to the top I'm only going to the top of the hill I'm only going to the top of the hill, hey Stop and get me on the ride up, uh huh Stop and get me on the ride up I'm only going to the top of the hill
