Coattails of a Dead Man Primus (Ft. Martina Topley-Bird & Tom Waits)

[Tom Waits]
One, two, three

[Martina Topley-Bird, background vocals throughout]
Ooohhh, aaahhh...

[Verse 1 (Les Claypool)]
Well, he wasn't looking for fanfare or fame
But it all came around just the same
He then met a girl with desire in her eye
He gave her love, she took his name

[Verse 2 (Les Claypool)]
The times they were good, the times they were bad
Most times it was just in between
The hard pill he swallowed was the times that they had
She put on display for all to be seen

[Verse 3 (Les Claypool)]
Some find their solace in work or the lord
She was quite content in her greed
When his eyes, they burned from the bright limelight
He found comfort in the bottle of old Jimmy Beam

[Verse 4 (Les Claypool)]
One day, from the depths of his deep darkened hole
He reached out for something to feel
She offered back nothing but lack of respect
So he let himself out with two barrels of steel
