quarter on its edge

 

 

 

for blanche

 

 

 

quarter on its edge

 

...you'll ask me what i'm doing here

leanin' on this lampost

flippin' this quarter tryin' to make up my mind

 

if it's heads

i'll go to tennessee

tails i'll buy you a drink

and if it lands on its edge

i'll keep talkin' to you

 

tom waits
