Opening Montage Tom's Piano Lyrics

[Tom Waits:] I wish I had a dollar for each time I took a chance
[Crystal Gayle:] On all those two bit Romeos who counterfeit romance
[Tom Waits:] Somehow always thinking of the last time I fell down
[Together:] Knowing that you fall in love once upon a town

[Tom Waits:] Down through the ages all will say just, said, don't spend your wages on love
[Crystal Gayle:]??? This graft??? inclusion but the intrusion, I'm proceeding foreclosures this over exposure
[Tom Waits:] Down at the crossroads a question is posed, bridge is washed out and the highway's closed
[Crystal Gayle:] Gotta have??? blue??? reason for??? blue??? believe, love was designed to exploit and deceive
[Tom Waits:]??? Your ass on a tandem??? wherever you send 'em, every??? ball and deep??? in your chest you will see, a simple addition, it keeps with tradition
[Together:] Don't spend your wages on love
[Tom Waits:] Taking it??? burgh??? in this silly old town, just gone main stream, drive all the way down
[Crystal Gayle:] You see love has a graveyard, not just for those that fell on their sables and paid through the nose
[Tom Waits:] Your shovel is a shotglass, you dig your own hole, bury what's left of your miserable soul
[Crystal Gayle:] Down through the ages all of us say just, said, don't spend your wages on love
[Tom Waits:] Don't spend your wages on love
[Crystal Gayle:]??? This graft??? inclusion but the intrusion, I'm proceeding foreclosures this over exposure
[Tom Waits:] I'm preceding foreclosures this over exposure
[Crystal Gayle:] Down at the crossroads a question is posed, bridge is washed out and the highway's closed
[Tom Waits:] Down at the crossroads a question is posed, bridge is washed out and the highway's closed
