...CLAP HANDS... by Tom Waits ----------------............. *from 'Rain Dogs' (1985)* Intro: , (x2), Verse 1: Sane, sane, they're all insane, Fireman's blind; the conductor is lame. A Cincinnati jacket and a sad-luck dame, Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain. Chorus 1: Clap hands, clap hands. Clap hands, clap hands. Verse 2: Said; roar, roar, the thunder and the roar, Son of a bitch is never coming back here no more. The moon in the window and a bird on the pole, We can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal. Chorus 2: Clap hands, clap hands. Clap hands, clap hands. Bridge 1: Said; steam, steam; a hundred bad dream, Going up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans. A fifty-dollar bill, iside a palladin's hat, And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at. Verse 3: Roar, roar, the thunder and the roar, Son of a bitch is never coming back here no more. The moon in the window and a bird on the pole, We can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal. Chorus 3: Clap hands, clap hands. Clap hands, clap hands. Interlude: , (x2), Bridge 2: Said; steam, steam; a hundred bad dream, Going up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans. A fifty-dollar bill, iside a palladin's hat, And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at. Verse 4: Shine, shine, a Roosevelt dime, All the way to Baltimore and running out of time. Salvation Army seemed to wind up in the hole, They all went to Heaven in a little row boat. Chorus 4: Clap hands, clap hands. Clap hands, clap hands. Clap hands, clap hands. Clap hands, clap hands.
