Waits, Tom - That's The Way Lyrics






That's the way the stomach rumbles
That's the way the bee bumbles
That's the way the needle pricks
That's the way the glue sticks
That's the way the potato mashes
That's the way the pan flashes
That's the way the market crashes
That's the way the whip lashes
That's the way the teeth knashes
That's the way the gravy stains
That's the way the moon wanes

    My Grandfather used to say 'That's the way.' It wasn't till he died that I knew what he meant.

    That's the way the stomach rumbles
    That's the way the bee bumbles
    That's the way the needle pricks
    That's the way the glue sticks
    That's the way the potato mashes
    That's the way the pan flashes
    That's the way the market crashes
    That's the way the whip lashes
    That's the way the teeth knashes
    That's the way the gravy stains
    That's the way the moon wanes

    Was this written by Burroughs?? sounds like it. Do you know??

    This song is so sweet.. Sentimental and bittersweet..

    I agree, yet it's also.. Philosophical. I think the original idea came to Burroughs... (might've been Ginsberg, I only recall that he was a beatnik.)
