Tom Waits - Walk Away Lyrics
Dot King was whittled from the bone of Cain
With a little drop of poison in the red red blood
She need a way to turn around the bend
She said I want to walk away and start over again
I want to look in the mirror see another face
I said, "never", but I'm doing it again
I wanna walk away, start over again
No more rain, no more roses
On my way, shake my thirst in a cool cool pond
There's a winner in every place
There's a heart that's beating in every page
The beginning of it starts at the end
Weather's murder at a hundred and three
William Ray shot Corabell Lee
A yellow dog knows when he has sinned
You wanna walk away and start over again
No more rain, no more roses
On my way, shaking my thirst in a cool cool pond
Cooper told Maui the whole block's gone
They're dying for jewelry, money, and clothes
I always get out of the trouble I'm in
I want to walk away, start over again
I left my bible by the side of the road
Carve my initials in an old dead tree
I'm going away but I'm going to be back when
It's time to walk away and start over again
Ho ho yeah, hmm, yeah
Gotta walk away, gotta walk away, gotta walk away
Just wanna walk away yeah, wanna walk away and start over again
Wanna walk away, wanna walk away, wanna walk away

Oh Tom how do you know all the time what my soul wants to hear
yorumlarda türk arıyorum..
The first line of the song has always intrigued me as to who Dot King was. Finally looked her up...http://malefactorsregister.com/wp/the-butterfly-murders/
He's embracing the totality of his madness, "No more rain, no more roses."
Tom Wait is a great great man with a talent one can only aspire to
I love him, always makes great song
How was this not on an album? Soundtrack only? Amazing piece of work.
I truly cannot like tom waits music. I massively enjoy his personality, interviews and appearances on screen though.
walk away
This is one of the greatest songs ever written. And if you have a problem with that then you have a problem with life.
...time..!!
Love me some Tom Waits!
So. What have we learned from this?
Everytime I here Tom Waits I feel like railing a line of cocaine or 10.
there nothing too walk away from,,
tarantino needs to meet Tom if he hasn't ..great idea by another poster ...I agree
dont get much better than this !!!
Tom Waits is so far above as a song writer than anything I've heard ...amazing
Reality is for people who can't handle drugs. Tom Waits
Let a man sing like he owns a pair !!!
Super Legend!!!!
Louis Theroux in Sing Sing brought me here
Exactly how I feel...gotta walk away and start over again.
what an amazing lyricist , pure genius
Fuck yourself
This song is my number one favorite song of Tom Waits...and then the list goes on. Love this guy, such a unique and eccentric talent.
A funny song...
I don't know what Tom Waits would think of this idea, but when I hear this, I see tap choreography. It seems made for it. Also, if that is how you feel, don't give it a second thought. I would prefer to split than be thought of as cod liver oil. An obligation? The right thing that you don't want. Does that sound like a formula for happiness to you? Don't you try to put that on me. In that case, I want to walk away and start over again too. I am still so much better off than we met. Thanks for the help. I had this covered, and was only trying to figure out precisely what you were saying as I always have been. I wish I had changed sooner.
On my way ......X
❤❤❤
Me encanta 💕
Am i the only one who thought Tom Waits was black?
pink Cadillac with fur seats kind of cool.
Great TOM! Great Tune!
TW is his own tradition!
Damn right. He's in another league entirely.
This man fucking rules !! That is all there is to it ......
If you don`t like this then “Walk away”....😎
He reminds me of Shane McGowan. Just sings what he wants when he wants. U don't like it f××× off

Tom.Waits is such an incredible songwriter.
No captain beefheart is best artist. Tom acknowledged the captain as his greatest musical influence. Even down to the vocal delivery .
Don fue uno de los mas grandes y influencia de muchos artistas pero creo que en lirica tom lo supera ampliamente
Great song... !
I need lives for the master!
There are things I've done I can't erase
I want to look in the mirror see another face
I said, "never", but I'm doing it again
I wanna walk away, start over again
Tom Waits is awsome in soooooooooo many aspects of the word his lyrics , his Voice, his mind & his heart . So much is felt in the tunes from this talent. Waits is one of the Greats
Dot King was whittled from the bone of Cain
With a little drop of poison in the red red blood
She need a way to turn around the bend
She said I want to walk away and start over again
There are things I've done I can't erase
I want to look in the mirror see another face
I said, "never", but I'm doing it again
I wanna walk away, start over again
No more rain, no more roses
On my way, shake my thirst in a cool cool pond
There's a winner in every place
There's a heart that's beating in every page
The beginning of it starts at the end
When it's time to walk away and start over again
Weather's murder at a hundred and three
William Ray shot Corabell Lee
A yellow dog knows when he has sinned
You wanna walk away and start over again
No more rain, no more roses
On my way, shaking my thirst in a cool cool pond
Cooper told Maui the whole block's gone
They're dying for jewelry, money, and clothes
I always get out of the trouble I'm in
I want to walk away, start over again
I left my bible by the side of the road
Carve my initials in an old dead tree
I'm going away but I'm going to be back when
It's time to walk away and start over again
Ho ho yeah, hmm, yeah
Gotta walk away, gotta walk away, gotta walk away
Just wanna walk away yeah, wanna walk away and start over again
Wanna walk away, wanna walk away, wanna walk away
Tom most def know how to tell in a charming way

He's all alone on my list of prolific songwriters with NO BAD SONG, ever!
Rene Lilly That’s a fact ! Nobody is even close .
Absolute goosebumps listening to this song.
I usually dont give a fuck about lyrics, but damn...
I 1st heard Sea of love and loved his voice then heard the album Bone Machine by Tom Waits when I was 16 after that I went backwards and found out how ammazing he's been love ya Tom!!
street level is the place to be all the dregs of society
drinking whiskey from a cardboard cup you say the gutter isn't low enough no man should ever deal with the devil now your gonna see me right at street level
waits is great that's for sure

Just read it was actually written for the film DEAD MAN WALKING which explains the choice
Only got into this when the Trevor McDonald did the DEATH ROW Documentaries!
Just discovered this guy, after hearing on a TV docu sounded to me like it would be a elderly black guy smoking a cigar, it's ace going to buy album now
I love this man 😢
Id rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
This is fuc#in AWESOME ... and voice is Pervertido Optimus Maximus...
thank you jay86 and lucy lovely, did not know this song, though a Waits fan, now i also know where it's from, thnx!
shake my thirst at a cool cool pond
For some reason I like it when see a "thumbs down" on a Tom Waits song. I'm like ok, now go away and leave the rest of us alone.
It's true they steal from me
It's true they steal from me
Real drug addicts in the spy division all the way down to the police
And all of your favorite companies
They will find me and hack me again
Just now discovered the modern blues poet Tom Waits. Cohen is dead. Dylan's doing Sinatra. I see the beginning of a beautiful friendship
Weathers murder at 103
A fucking poet
intersting choice.. i have to think about it before giving a thump up
Q TARANTINO, put Tom Waits in your movies!!
I heard this song and it reminded me of my choices during school. I can totally relate to this song!
Tom and Gin Wigmore should do a duet.
I can never get enough of this song. Its candy.
She said I want to walk away and start over again
wore out shoes brought me here
