A Good Man Is Hard To Find lyrics
A good man's is hard to find
Only strangers sleep in my bed
My favorite words are good-bye
And my favorite color is red
I always play Russian Roulette in my head
It's sventeen black and twenty-nine red
How far from the gutter
How far fron the pew
I'll always remember to forget about you
A good man's is hard to find
Only strangers sleep in my bed
My favorite words are good-bye
And my favorite color is red
A long dead soldier looks out
From the frame
No one remembers his war; no one
Remembers his name
Go out to the meadow;
Scare off all the crows
It does nothing but rain here,
And nothing will grow
A good man's is hard to find
Only strangers sleep in my bed
My favorite words are good-bye
And my favorite color is red
Discuss it

Album description:
Blood Money is based on the sociopolitical play "Woyzeck," originally written by young German poet Georg Buchner as a spare, cinematic piece in 1837 and inspired by the true story of a German soldier who was driven mad by bizarre army medical experiments and infidelity, which led him to murder his lover. Waits and his wife, Kathleen Brennan, wrote songs for an avant-garde production of "Woyczek" directed by Robert Wilson. It premiered in November 2000 at the Betty Nansen Theater in Copenhagen and went on to win Denmark's version of the Tony for Best Musical in 2001. 257 reads
