Tom Waits - "Top of the Hill"

Listen to the full album: antircrds.io/3...
"Top of the Hill" by Tom Waits from the album 'Real Gone'
Lyrics
New corn yellow and slaughterhouse red
The birds keep singing
Baby after your dead
I'm gonna miss you plenty
Big old world
With our abalone earrings
And your mother of pearl
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
I'm only goin
I'm, only goin
I'm only goin to the top
Of the hill
I need your moon to be the sky
Sky against
Don't get your trouser button
Stuck on the fence
Diego red and bedlam money are fine
Why don't you come up here
And see me sometime
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
I'm only goin
I'm, only goin
I'm only goin to the top
Of the hill
There's very little leeway
I seen a mattress on the freeway
The moon rises over Dog Street
Jefferson said every things reet
Have all the lights burned
Out on heaven again
I'll never roll the number 7 again
I'm made of bread and I'm on an
Ocean of wine
I hear all the birdies
On the phone just fine
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
I'm only goin
I'm, only goin
I'm only goin to the top
Of the hill
Black joke and the bean soup
Big sky and the Ford Coupe
Old maid and the dry bones
Red Rover and the Skinny Bones Jones
47 mules to pull this train
We're getting married
In the pouring rain
You need your differential and
Plenty of oil
You load the wagon till
The end of the world
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
I'm only goin
I'm only goin
I'm only goin to the top
Of the hill
What's your throttle made of
Is it money or bone
Don't doddle or you'll
Never get home
Opium, fireworks, vodka and meat
Scoot over and save me a seat
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
I'm only goin
I'm, only goin
I'm only goin to the top
Of the hill
If I had it all to do all
Over again
I'd try to rise above the law of man
Why don' cha gimme nother
Sip of your cup
Turn a Rolls Royce into a
Chicken coup, uh huh
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
Stop and get me on the ride up
I'm only goin
I'm, only goin
I'm only goin to the top
Of the hill

I was taught when I was growing up, that art is something that makes you think and feel something, Tom's music does exactly that. Thank you Tom Waits, you are a legend.

I remember listening to this album when I was working in a fashion and records store. I had such a great time

[@gchomuk]

I remember when I was young and assumed Tom Waits was a black guy. Love his out of left field style. (Edited to add, I'm in my mid 60s).

[@ronniereid9881]

He keeps me thinking amazing

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

I was just watching Tom on Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Tom an upload haha

Dracula

[@x1625]

Had me singing " Stop and get me on the ride up" by the third chorus.

[@momo_genX]

This is like Bobby McFerrin on mushrooms with Mark Ribot on guitar, and Tom Waits rapping after he drank a Balll mason jar full of Mothballs, bathtub gin, and carpet tacks. Satire!

[@vonderloo3184]

Wiggly. 🎶

[@kcronin7211]

Had a high school teacher introduce me to him in the mid-80s. TW's never stood still, and he has a curious mind.
