Muriel - Tom Waits

Muriel since you left town

The clubs closed down

And there’s one more burned out lamp post

On Main Street

Down where we used to stroll

And Muriel

I still hit all the same old haunts

And you follow me wherever I go

And Muriel I see you

On a Saturday night

In a penny arcade

With your hair tied back

And the diamond twinkle

Is in your eye

Is the only wedding ring that I’ll buy you

Muriel

And Muriel how many times

I’ve left this town

To hide from your memory

And it haunts me

But I only get as far

As the next Whiskey bar

I buy another cheap cigar

And I’ll see you every night

Hey Muriel

Muriel

Hey buddy

Got a light
