作曲：Tom Waits

I wish I had a dollar

For each time

I took a chance

On all those two

bit Romeos

Who counterfeit

romance

Somehow always

thinking

Of the last time

I fell down

Knowing that you

fall in love

Once upon a town

As I slow down

on purple avenues

To march around

in April's shoes

The weathervanes remind

Of summertimes that

I've left behind

All the money's gone

for Auld Lang Syne

I spent on Eastern

Standard Time

What happened

to my roll

September fell right

through the hole

All I've got is empty

pockets now

Oh why does August

try so hard

To hoist me on

my own petard

I've learned one thing

from losing her

An ounce of prevention's

worth a pound of cure

The shadows fall

I cannot thread

The tenor of the things

you've said

All that's left is

flesh and bone

The lights are on but

no one's home

All I've got is empty

pockets now

I spill myself another drink

I count the whiskers

in the sink

The orchestra is blind

But I've never been

the worrying kind

Subsequently and

furthermore

I'll sleep right here

on the draining board

I will never be paroled

I like to drink them

while they're cold

All I've got is empty

pockets now
