Burma-Shave Lyrics

Cover art for Burma-Shave lyrics by Tom Waits

The images evoked by these lyrics are so vivid:

the road was like a ribbon and the moon was like a bone... her hair spilled out like rootbeer... -and- when they pulled her from the wreck you know she still had on her shades...

Wonderful. A perfect jewel of storytelling.
