town with no cheer (2023 remaster) - tom waits lyrics

well, it’s hotter than blazes and all the long faces
there’ll be no oasis for a dry local grazier
there’ll be no refreshment for a thirsty jackaroo
from melbourne to adelaide on the overlander
with newfangled buffet cars and faster locomotives
the train stopped in serviceton less and less often
no, there’s nothing sadder than a town with no cheer
vic rail decided the canteen was no longer necеssary there
no spirits, no bilgewatеr and eighty dry locals
and the high noon sun beats a hundred*and*four
there’s a hummingbird trapped in a closed*down shoe store
this tiny victorian rhubarb
kept the watering hole open for sixty*five years

now it’s boilin’ in a miserable march 21st
wrapped the hills in a blanket of paterson’s curse
the train smokes down the xylophone
there’ll be no stopping here
all you can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer

no bourbon, no branchwater
though the townspeople here
fought her vic rail decree tooth and nail
now it’s boilin’ in a miserable march 21st
wrapped the hills in a blanket of paterson’s curse
the train smokes down the xylophone
there’ll be no stopping here
all you can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer

- tom waits lyrics
