Текст Tom Waits – Walking Spanish

He’s got himself a homemade special
You know his glass is full of sand
And it feels just like a jaybird
The way it fits into his hand

He’s walking spanish down the hall

Slip him a picture of our Jesus
Or give him a spoon to dig a hole
What all he done ain’t no one’s business
But he’ll need blankets for the cold
They dim the lights over on Broadway
Even the king has bowed his head
Every face looks right up at Mason

He’s walking spanish down the hall

Latella’s screeching for a blind pig
Punk Sander’s carved it out of wood
He never sang when he got hoodwinked
They tried it all but he never would
Tomorrow morning there’ll be laundry
But he’ll be somewhere else to hear the call
Don’t say good bye he’s just leavin’ early

He’s walking spanish down the hall

All St. Bartholomew said was whispered
Into the ear of Blind Jack Dawes
All the Baker told the machine
Was that he never broke the law
Go on and tip your hat up to the Pilate
Take off your watch, your rings and all

When he was walking spanish down the hall
