[00:02.67] TOM WAITS
[00:04.00] RAIN DOGS
[00:04.93] Singapore
[00:06.00]
[00:07.48] We sail tonight for Singapore,
[00:08.61] we're all as mad as hatters here
[00:10.99] I've fallen for a tawny Moor,
[00:13.39] took off to the land of Nod
[00:15.96] Drank with all the Chinamen,
[00:18.28] walked the sewers of Paris
[00:20.77] I danced along a colored wind,
[00:23.00] dangled from a rope of sand
[00:25.64] You must say goodbye to me
[00:29.43]
[00:30.43] We sail tonight for Singapore,
[00:32.88] don't fall asleep while you're ashore
[00:34.98] Cross your heart and hope to die
[00:37.78] when you hear the children cry
[00:40.06] Let marrow bone and cleaver choose
[00:42.56] while making feet for children shoes
[00:44.90] Through the alley, back from hell,
[00:47.20] when you hear that steeple bell
[00:49.64] You must say goodbye to me
[00:53.42]
[00:54.69] Wipe him down with gasoline
[00:57.01] 'til his arms are hard and mean
[00:59.41] From now on boys this iron boat's your home
[01:05.91] So heave away, boys
[01:08.55]
[01:11.05] We sail tonight for Singapore,
[01:13.53] take your blankets from the floor
[01:16.23] Wash your mouth out by the door,
[01:18.57] the whole town's made of iron ore
[01:21.03] Every witness turns to steam,
[01:23.43] they all become Italian dreams
[01:25.71] Fill your pockets up with earth,
[01:28.52] get yourself a dollar's worth
[01:30.52] Away boys, away boys, heave away
[01:36.27]
[01:37.95] The captain is a one-armed dwarf,
[01:40.36] he's throwing dice along the wharf
[01:42.44] In the land of the blind
[01:44.31] the one-eyed man is king, so take this ring
[01:52.82]
[01:54.48] We sail tonight for Singapore,
[01:56.56] we're all as mad as hatters here
[01:58.98] I've fallen for a tawny Moor,
[02:01.64] took off to the land of Nod
[02:04.73] Drank with all the Chinamen,
[02:06.37] walked the sewers of Paris
[02:08.74] I drank along a colored wind,
[02:11.44] I dangled from a rope of sand
[02:13.53] You must say goodbye to me
