Invitation To The Blues （LP 版）-Tom Waits Written by ：Tom Waits Well she's up against the register with an apron and a spatula Yesterday's deliveries tickets for the bachelors She's a moving violation from her conk down to her shoes Well it's just an invitation to the blues And you feel just like Cagney she looks like Rita Hayworth At the counter of the Schwab's drugstore You wonder if she might be single she's a loner and likes to mingle Got to be patient try and pick up a clue She said how you gonna like 'em over medium or scrambled You say anyway's the only way be careful not to gamble On a guy with a suitcase and a ticket getting out of here It's a tired bus station and an old pair of shoes This ain't nothing but an invitation to the blues But you can't take your eyes off her get another cup of java It's just the way she pours it for you joking with the customers Mercy mercy Mr.Percy there ain't nothing back in jersey But a broken down jalopy of a man I left behind And the dream that I was chasing and a battle with booze And an open invitation to the blues But she used to have a sugar daddy and a candy apple Caddy And a bank account and everything accustomed to the finer things He probably left her for a socialite and he didn't 'cept at night And then he's drunk and never even told her that her cared So they took the registration and the car keys and her shoes And left her with an invitation to the blues Cause there's a Continental Trailways leaving local bus tonight good evening You can have my seat I'm sticking round here for a while Get me a room at the squire the filling station's hiring And I can eat here every night what the hell have I got to lose Got a crazy sensation go or stay now I gotta choose And I'll accept your invitation to the blues
