EGGS AND SAUSAGE

TOM WAITS

Lyrics and music:Thomas Alan Waits

Key:

nighthawks at the diner

of Emma's 49er there's a rendezvous

of strangers around the coffee urn tonight

all the gypsy hacks the insomniacs

now the paper's been read

now the waitress said

eggs and sausage and a side of toast

coffee and a roll hash browns over easy

chile in a bowl with burgers and fries

what kind of pie?

In a graveyard charade a late shift masquerade

2 for a quarter dime for a dance

with Woolworth rhinestone diamond

earrings and a sideway's glance

and now the register rings

and now the waitress sings

the classified section offered no direction

it's a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud

now the touch of your fingers

lingers burning in my memory

I've been 86ed from your scheme

I'm in a melodramatic nocturnal scene

I'm a refugee from a disconcerted affair

as the lead pipe morning falls

and the waitress calls

eggs and sausage and a side of toast

coffee and a roll hash browns over easy

chile in a bowl with burgers and fries

what kind of pie?
