Song | Poor Edward |
Artist | Tom Waits |
Album | Alice |
作曲 : Kathleen Brennan/Tom Waits | |
Did you hear the news about Edward? | |
On the back of his head he had another face | |
Was it a woman's face or a young girl? | |
They said to remove it would kill him | |
So poor Edward was doomed | |
The face could laugh and cry | |
It was his devil twin | |
And at night she spoke to him | |
Things heard only in hell | |
But they were impossible to separate | |
Chained together for life | |
Finally the bell tolled his doom | |
He took a suite of rooms | |
And hung himself and her from the balcony irons | |
Some still believe he was freed from her | |
But I knew her too well | |
I say she drove him to suicide | |
And took poor Edward to hell |
