Tom Waits - Shiny Things

The things a crow puts in his nest
They are always things he finds that shine best
Somehow he'll find
a shiny dime
a silver twine
from a Valentine
The crows all bring
them shiny things

Leave me alone you big ol' moon
the light you cast is just a liar
You're like the crows
'cos if it glows
you're dressed to go
you guessed I know
You'll always bring
them shiny things

Well, I'm not dancing here tonight
But things are bound to turn around
The only thing
I want that shines
is to be king
there in your eyes
To be your only
shiny thing
