Tom Waits "Black Market Baby" lyrics

Translation to:el

Black Market Baby

She lives in a houseThat's way back off the roadThere's a man with a lanternAnd he carries her soulA coal stove and a bedA skillet and a houndShe drove a camel throughA needleIn this sinking board walk town

She's my Black Market BabyShe's my Black Market BabyShe's a diamond thatWants to stay coalWants to stay coal

Well I swang out wide with herOn the hell's iron gateEverything that you wantedYou could haveMy eyes say their prayers to herSailors ring her bellShe's just like a moth mistakes a light bulbFor the moon and goes to hell

She's my Black Market BabyShe's my Black Market BabyShe's a diamond thatWants to stay coalWants to stay coal

There's no prayer like desireThere's amnesia in her kissShe's a swan and a pistolAnd she will follow you like thisIn Moverly, Missouri at theIroquois HotelShe checked in with the PresidentAnd she ran up quite a bill

And she's my Black Market babyShe's my Black Market babyShe's a diamond thatWants to stay coalWants to stay coal
