Tom Waits - Foreign Affairs Lyrics

Tom Waits - Potter's Field Lyrics

That buys a black widow spider with a riddle in his yarn
That's clinging to the furrow of a blind man's brow

Tom Waits - Foreign Affair Lyrics

When traveling abroad in the continental style
It's my belief one must attempt to be discreet
And subsequently bear in mind your transient position
Allows you a perspective that's unique
