Tom Waits
All My Heroes (Live At Radio City Music Hall)
[Spoken Intro]
All my heroes!

[Verse 1]
Well, all my heroes got tired
And all the days, they got short
Well, the love that I dreamt of
Came to me at my worst

[Chorus]
Yeah, all the nights I don't remember
They are the ones I can't forget
When all your heroes get tired
I'll be something better yet

[Verse 2]
I remember driving out of this state
Nothing alive, nothing dies
Until somebody's soul does
Oh, they sold us all kinds of lies

[Chorus]
Hey, all the nights I don't remember
They are the ones I can't forget
When all your heroes get tired
I'll be something better yet
[Outro]
Into focus I'll be coming
Into focus I'll be waiting
Into focus I'll be dreaming
Into focus I'll be something better yet
Into focus I'll be coming
Into focus I'll be waiting
Into focus I'll be dreaming
Into focus I'll be something better yet
Into focus I'll be coming
Into focus I'll be waiting
Into focus I'll be dreaming
Into focus I'll be something better yet

[Saxophone Solo]

You guys from New York?
I'm from New Jersey, which is so cool that even, uh-
Even Tom Waits writes songs about New Jersey

[Jersey Girl]
Ain't no time for the corner boys
In the street making all that noise (Where are you?)
Or the whores on 8th avenue
Lot of you guys tonight
'Cause tonight I wanna be with you
But tonight I wanna take a drive
Cross the GW bridge to the fucking Radio City side
Take my baby to the carnival
Where everything's alright
Yeah, where everything's alright
Wednesday? Wednesday
We're taking the sadness out of Wednesday night
Fuck, it's Tuesday, isn't it?
I never wanna throw anyone under the bus
But i got bad intel from the band
We're taking the sadness out of Tuesday night

'Cause I'm here with you
Some kind of a dream come true

Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
This is almost true
Sha la la la I'm in love with a midtown girl
We're in New York (Oh, really?)
Sha la la la, la la la la
Sha la la, la la la la la
Sha la la la la la

Tom Waits is from California and he wrote that song about Jersey
This is my song, I wrote about Jersey
And, uh
Please welcome the finest Bruce Springsteen
Hey!
