Tom Waits - 2:19 lyrics

2:19 I lost everything I had in the '29 flood Barn was buried beneath a mile of mud Now, I'm down to nothing but the whistle and the steam My baby's leaving town on the 2:19 Now there's a fella been preaching about hell and damnation Bouncing off the walls at the Grand Central Station I treated her bad, I treated her mean My baby's leaving town on the 2:19 I said hey, hey, I don't know what to do Hey, hey, I will remember you Hey, hey, I don't know what to do My baby's leaving town on the 2:19 Now I've always been puzzled about the yin and the yang Come out in the wash, but it always leaves a stain Sturm and the drang, the luster and the sheen My baby's leaving town on the 2:19 I said hey, hey, I don't know what to do Hey, hey, I will remember you Hey, hey, I don't know what to do My baby's leaving town on the 2:19 Toss the baby with the water, and the preacher stole the bride Sent her out for a bottle, but when she come back inside She didn't bring my whiskey, she didn't bring my gin She had a hat full of feathers and a wicked grin I said hey, hey, I don't know what to do Hey, hey, I will remember you Hey, hey, I don't know what to do My baby's leaving town on the 2:19 On the train you get smaller, as you get farther away The roar covers everything you wanted to say Was that a raindrop in the corner of your eye? Were you drying your nails or waving goodbye? I said: hey, hey, I will remember you Hey, hey, I don't know what to do Hey, hey, I will remember you My baby's leaving town on the 2:19
