Tom Waits - Coney Island Baby

Misery is the river of the world, everything goes to hell anyway, god is definitely away on business, there is too much woe in this world, life is a riddle and a good man is hard to find.
Despite all that I cannot remember listening to anything more beautiful than this.
Maybe in the the end "it is beauty that is going to save the world"




Every night she comes
To take me out to dreamland
When I'm with her, I'm the richest
Man in the town
She's a rose, she's the pearl
She's the spin on my world
All the stars make their wishes on her eyes

She's my Coney Island Baby
She's my Coney Island Girl

She's a princess in a red dress
She's the moon in the mist to me

She's my Coney Island Baby
She's my Coney Island Girl
