Clap Hands (Circuit Bent remix feat. Erik Parker) Songtext
von Tom Waits

Sane, sane, they′re all insane
Fireman's blind, the conductor′s lame
A Cincinnati jacket and a sad luck dame
Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain

Clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands

Said roar, roar the thunder and the roar
Son of a bitch is never comin' back here no more
Moon in the window and a bird on the pole
We can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal

Clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands

Said steam, steam, a hundred bad dreams
Goin' up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans
A fifty dollar bill inside of Paladin′s hat
And nobody′s sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at


Roar, roar the thunder and the roar
Son of a bitch is never comin′ back here no more
Moon in the window and a bird on the pole
Always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal

Clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands

I said steam, steam, a hundred bad dreams
Goin' up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans
A fifty dollar bill inside of Paladin′s hat
And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker′s at

Shine, shine a Roosevelt dime
All the way to Baltimore and runnin' out of time
The Salvation Army seemed to wind up in the hole
They all went to Heaven in a little row boat

Clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands

Oh, clap hands
Oh, clap hands
Oh, clap hands
Clap hands
