Tom Waits - Spidey's Wild Ride Lyrics
The smoke from the battle fish and the rain soaked throughand the wheelman left the shoreand barns tumbled and silos flew across fifteen miles bad road tarAnd big Bull Trometer hung on to the sideand the pig dogs trembled on Spidey's wild rideAnd big John Jizom from downtown Chizomflew away with old mrs. StormAnd they found Bird Lundy neath a keg of nails crooked as a dog's hind legKeeping warm after twenty-nine days on hard assed breadhe drilled to the big outside and clung like a tick to his waterfrontlife mooned and clouded, blued and skiedAnd all the clocks blew up on Spidey's wild rideAnd the hills stood up in a great big 3and left me whipped by the forces that were inside meLoud as the ocean, cold as a desk, red as the water on the river of fleshAnd he was sewing up his pants while he was shoeing a muleAnd he was bucking a head wind galeBut the crooked ass beauty was trapped to the sideand he shook on Spidey's wild rideAnd all the statue ass makers, and the uprooted treesAnd I shouted way up to where the rabbit digs his holeand the wheelman, the jockeys the landlords and theewere bucking a head wind southand with nine lives spent, he landed on his rentcomposed with a steele head salmon in his mouthand I never did see another day outsidecause I'd had enough travel on Spidey's wild ride
