Bad as Me

Waits Tom

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 
You're the same kind of bad as me
