Lyric Going Out West

(tom waits/k. brennan)

Well i m going out west
Where the wind blows tall
cause tony franciosa
Used to date my ma
They got some money out there
They re giving it away
I m gonna do what i want
Do what i want
And i m gonna get paid

Little brown sausages
Lying in the sand
I ain t no extra baby
I m a leading man
Well my parole officer
Will be proud of me
With my olds 88
And the devil on a leash
My olds 88
And the devil on a leash

Well i kno karate, voodoo too
I m gonna make myself available to you
I don t need no make up
I got real scars
I got hair on my chest
I look good without a shirt

Well i don t lose my composure
In a high speed chase
Well my friends think i m ugly
I got a masculine face
I got some dragstrip courage
I can really drive a bed
I m gonna change my name
To hannibal or maybe
Just rex
Change my name to hannibal
Or maybe just rex

I m gonna drive all night
Take some speed
I m gonna wait for the sun
To shine down on me
I cut a hole in my roof
In the shape of a heart

And i m going out west
Where they ll appreciate me
Going out west
Going out west
