Fall Of Troy Lyrics - Tom Waits

It's the same with men as with horses and dogs 

Nothing wants to die 

Evelyn James they killed in a game 

With guns too big for their hands 

Just off St. Charles in No-Mans Land 

And you'll have to find your own way home, boys 

You'll have to find your own way home 

The oldest was Troy, an eighteen year-old boy 

Shot dead in March with a robbery 

His brother started out to hell and to ruin 

Troy's killer was never caught they say 

Young nick he just went bad that day 

Now he'll have to find his own way home, boys 

He'll have to find his own way home

Why cook dinner? 

Why make my bed? 

Why come home at all? 

Out the door and through the woods 

There is a world where nothing grows 

Photos 

It's hard to say grace and to sit in the place 

Of someone missing at the table 

Mom's hair sprayed tight 

And her face in her hands 

Watching TV for answers to me 

After all she's only human 

And she's trying to find her own way home, boys 

She's trying to find her own way home 

My legs ache 

My heart is sore 

The well is full of pennies
