Tom Waits - November

November
Tom Waits

No shadow no stars
no moon no cars
in a pile of dead leaves
November
it only believes
and a moon
that's the color of bone

No prayers for November
we'll slaughter them all
to linger longer
stick your spoon in the wall
November has tied me

to rescue me
to an old dead tree
November's cold chain
get word to April

and shiny black ravens
Made of wet boots and rain
November seems odd
on chimney smoke lanes
November
you're my firing squad

With my hair slicked back
with carrion shellac
with the blood from a pheasant
tied to the branches
and the bone from a hare
of a roebuck stag
left to wave in the timber
like a buck shot flag

Go away you rainsnout
Novembergo away blow your brains out
