<pre><font size='+2'>NIGHTHAWK POSTCARDS lyrics TOM WAITS</font><br>there`s a blur drizzle down the plateglass <br />
as a neon swizzle stick stirrin up the sultry night air <br />
and a yellow biscuit of a buttery cue ball moon <br />
rollin` maverick across an obsidian sky <br />
as the busses go groanin` and wheezin`, <br />
down on the corner I`m freezin`; <br />
on a restless boulevard at a midnight road <br />
I`m across town from EASY STREET <br />
with the tight knots of moviegoers and out of towners <br />
on the stroll <br />
and the buildings towering high above <br />
lit like dominoes or black dice <br />
all the used car salesmen dressed up in <br />
Purina Checkerboard slacks <br />
and Foster Grant wrap-around, <br />
pacing in front of EARL SCHLEIB <br />
$39.95 merchandise <br />
like barkers at a shootin` gallery <br />
they throw out kind of a Texas Guinan routine <br />
`Hello sucker, we like your money <br />
just as well as anybody else`s here` <br />
or they give you the P.T. Barnum bit <br />
`There`s a sucker born every minute <br />
you just happened to be comin` along at the right time` <br />
come over here now <br />
you know... all the harlequin sailors are on the stroll <br />
in a search of `LIKE NEW,` `NEW PAINT,` <br />
decent factory air and AM-FM dreams <br />
and the piss yellow gypsy cabs <br />
stacked up in the taxi zones waitin` like <br />
pinball machines <br />
to be ticking off a joy ride to a magical place <br />
waitin` in line like `truckers welcome` diners <br />
with dirt lots full of <br />
Peterbilts, Kenworths, Jimmy`s and the like, and <br />
they`re hiballin` with bankrupt brakes, over driven <br />
under paid, over fed, a day late and a dollar short <br />
but Christ I got my lips around a bottle and <br />
my foot on the throttle and I`m standin` on the corner <br />
standin` on the corner like a `just in town` <br />

there`s a blur drizzle down the plateglass
as a neon swizzle stick stirrin up the sultry night air
and a yellow biscuit of a buttery cue ball moon
rollin` maverick across an obsidian sky
as the busses go groanin` and wheezin`,
down on the corner I`m freezin`;
on a restless boulevard at a midnight road
I`m across town from EASY STREET
with the tight knots of moviegoers and out of towners
on the stroll
and the buildings towering high above
lit like dominoes or black dice
all the used car salesmen dressed up in
Purina Checkerboard slacks
and Foster Grant wrap-around,
pacing in front of EARL SCHLEIB
$39.95 merchandise
like barkers at a shootin` gallery
they throw out kind of a Texas Guinan routine
`Hello sucker, we like your money
just as well as anybody else`s here`
or they give you the P.T. Barnum bit
`There`s a sucker born every minute
you just happened to be comin` along at the right time`
come over here now
you know... all the harlequin sailors are on the stroll
in a search of `LIKE NEW,` `NEW PAINT,`
decent factory air and AM-FM dreams
and the piss yellow gypsy cabs
stacked up in the taxi zones waitin` like

to be ticking off a joy ride to a magical place
waitin` in line like `truckers welcome` diners
with dirt lots full of

but Christ I got my lips around a bottle and
my foot on the throttle and I`m standin` on the corner
standin` on the corner like a `just in town`
