There are 4 demons in my trunk


(Tom Waits - Singapore)

I have a car made in blood-red
It takes me to the journey's end
As I am the kind devil driving
Get in my people, take a ride
Get taken in without a fight
Smell the soft scent of burned fuel
Sit down, that here is a rule
Now take of that coat belle
It's hot like Hell
Don't fall asleep while you're in here
Cross your heart and hope to die
When you hear the students cry
Let marrow bone and cleaver choose
While making feet for student shoes
Through the allay Back from Hell
When you hear that steeple bell
You must say goodbye to me
Wipe me down with gasoline
Till my arms are hard and mean
From now on girls this machine's your home
So run away girls
Don't fall asleep while you're in here
Take your clothes from the floor
Wash your mouth out by the door
The whole town is made of oral lore
Every witness turns to steam
They all become moral dreams
Fill your pockets up with earth
Get yourself a Euro's worth
Away girls, away, girls, grieve away
The captain is professor of tenure
She claims her thoughts so cocksure
In the land of her mind, the driver isn't me
neither here, she is free
I have a car made in blood-red
It takes me to the journey's end
As I am the kind devil driving
Get in my people, take a ride
Get taken in without a fight
Smell the soft scent of burned fuel
Sit down, that here is a rule
Now take of that coat belle
It's hot like Hell

(little hint, I isn't a Roman numeral)
