Tom Waits — Intro To Putnam County lyrics

Lyrics

Well I think it’s about time I took you on an improvisational adventure
Into the bowels of the metropolitan region
Looks like a bonafide, high voltage
Decked out in full regalia, Angelino audience
Driving in, in Subarus, Pintos, Malibus, Oldsmobiles
A small suburan community
This is a… kind of about 2.30 in the morning
You’ve been standing on the corner of Fifth and Vermouth
And you climb into the helm of a 1958 monkey shit brown Buick Super and your on
your way home
A luxury automobile, bought it dollar bills, Easy Autos for next to nothing
Cruising along, everythings going fine
Put a little smooth music on the stereo
Light up an Old Gold, save the coupon
Gotta think in terms of that patio furniture, that? man
Your on the Santa Monica freeway headed in an easterly direction
You just past the La Cienega turn off
And you run into a cold fog bank
