Tom Waits - The Black Rider lyrics

Come on along

With the Black Rider

We'll have a gay ol' time

Lay down in the web

Of the Black Spider

I'll drink your blood like wine

So come on in

It ain't no sin

Take off your skin

And dance around in your bones!

So, come on along

With the Black Rider

We'll have a gay ol' time!

[Well hold on there sir!

Have your ticket ready

Under 12 free!]

Well just come on along

Anchors away with the Black Rider

I'll drink your blood like wine

I'll drop you off in Haarlem

With the Black Rider

Where the bullets fly

And when you're done

The blood will run

Like ribbons through your hair

Come on along

with the Black Rider

We'll have a gay ol' time.

[Have your tickets ready!

See the dogfaced boy!]

Just come along

with the Black Rider

I've got just the thing for thee

Just come along

with the Black Rider

I want your company

Well I think I'll have the veal

I love the meal

That's how I feel

Oh may I use your skull for a bowl?

Well just come along

with the Black Rider

We'll have a gay old

We'll have a gay ol'

We'll have a gay ol'

We'll have a gay ol'

We'll have a gay old time!

[Step right up,

Have your tickets ready!]
