You're the head on the spear
You're the nail on the cross
You're the fly in my beer
You're the key that got lost
You're the letter from Jesus on the bathroom wall
You're mother superior in only a bra
You're the same kind of bad as me
I'm the hat on the bed
I'm the coffee instead
The fish or cut bait
I'm the detective up late
I'm the blood on the floor
The thunder and the roar
The boat that won't sink
I just won't sleep a wink
You're the same kind of bad as me
No good you say
Well that's good enough for me
You're the wreath that caught fire
You're the preach to the choir
You bite down on the sheet
But your teeth have been wired
You skid in the rain
You're trying to shift
You're grinding the gears
You're trying to shift
And you're the same kind of bad as me
They told me you were no good
I know you'll take care of all my needs
You're the same kind of bad as me
I'm the mattress in the back
I'm the old gunnysack
I'm the one with the gun
Most likely to run
I'm the car in the weeds
If you cut me I'll bleed
You're the same kind of bad as me

Tom Waits (nato Thomas Alan Waits il 7 dicembre 1949) è un cantautore, musicista e attore statunitense considerato uno dei più influenti artisti del panorama musicale contemporaneo. Conosciuto per la sua voce roca e inimitabile, le sue performance teatrali e le sue canzoni caratterizzate da atmosfere dark e surreali, Waits ha attraversato diverse fasi musicali, dal blues al jazz, passando per il rock sperimentale e l'avant-garde. La sua carriera musicale inizia negli anni '60 con la formazione di gruppi come The Tom Waits Band e poi come musicista solista. Nel corso degli anni '70 e '80 raggiunge un successo crescente grazie a album come "Closing Time" (1973), "Heartattack and Vine" (1981) e "Rain Dogs" (1985). Negli anni successivi, Waits si dedica anche alla recitazione, partecipando a film di registi come Wim Wenders e Francis Ford Coppola. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo "Tom Traubert's Blues", "I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You", "Hold On" e "Martha”. Waits è stato insignito di numerosi premi, tra cui il Grammy Award per la vita e l'opera.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
