"How's It Gonna End" by Tom Waits from the album "Real Gone"


Lyrics


He had 3 whole dollars 
A worn out car 
And a wife who was 
Leaving for good 
Life's made of trouble 
Worry pain and struggle 
She wrote good bye in 
The dust on the hood 
They found a map of Missouri 
Lipstick on the glass 
They must of left 
In the middle of the nite


And I want to know 
The same thing 
Everyone wants to know 
How it going to end?


Behind a smoke colored 
Curtain, the girl 
Disappeared, they found out 
The ring was a fake 
A tree born crooked 
Will never grow straight 
She sunk like a hammer into the lake 
A long lost letter and 
And old leaky boat 
Promises are never meant 
To keep


And I want to know 
The same thing 
Everyone wants to know 
How it going to end?


The barn leaned over 
The vultures dried their wings 
The moon climbed up an empty sky 
The sun sank down behind the tree 
On the hill There's a killer and he's coming 
Thru the rye 
But maybe he's the 
Father Of that lost little girl 
It's hard to tell in this light


And I want to know 
The same thing 
Everyone wants to know 
How it going to end? 


Drag your wagon and your plow 
Over the bones of the dead 
Out among the roses and the weeds 
You can never go back 
And the answer is no 
And wishing for it only 
Makes it bleed


Joel Tornabene was broken 
On the wheel 
Shane and Bum Mahoney on the lamb 
The grain was as gold 
As Sheila's hair 
All the way from Liverpool 
With all we could steal 
He was robbed of twenty dollars 
His body found stripped 
Cast into the harbour 
There and drowned


And I want to know 
The same thing 
Everyone wants to know 
How it going to end?


The sirens are snaking their 
Way up the hill It's last call somewhere in 
The world 
The reptiles blend in with the Color of the street 
Life is sweet at the edge 
Of a razor 
And down in the front row of 
An old picture show 
The old man is asleep 
As the credits start to roll


And I want to know 
The same thing 
Everyone wants to know 
How it going to end?
