Tom Waits Annie's Back in Town [live] song lyrics

In the evening he stumbles home with his tie undone

And as the moon sweeps 7th Avenue as usual

You lie awake at night

You remember when

now that Annie's back in town

Well I know why you're drinking

I know your alibi

Don't make up excuses

for those are tears in your eyes

And you're falling back in love again

now that Annie's back in town

And it came down through the grapevine

It put your business on the street

I hear you've been hanging out 'til dawn

in some lunch room

Well you thought you've gotten over her

but that was 'til you found

that Annie's back in town

And all the corner boys are trouble-makers

and the sailors are all fools

You know it seems like some things round here

I guess they'll never change

Oh but it's always good for business

Guess we'll be seeing you around

now that Annie's back in town
