One from the Heart movie - Picking Up After You lyrics

rate me

Song by Tom Waits, Crystal Gayle<br /><br>

Tom: <br>

Here comes the bride, and there goes the groom<br>

Looks like a hurricane went through this room<br>

Crystal: <br>

Smells like a pool hall, where's my other shoe<br>

And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you<br>

<br>

Tom: <br>

Looks like you spent the night in a trench<br>

And tell me, how long have you been combin' your hair with a wrench<br>

Crystal: <br>

The roses are dead and the violets are too<br>

And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you<br>

<br>

Tom: <br>

Well, I've told you before, I won't tell you again<br>

You don't defrost the icebox with a ball point pen<br>

This railroad apartment is held together with glue<br>

And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you<br>

<br>

Tom: <br>

Because I know I've been swindled, I never bargained for this<br>

What's more, you never cared about me<br>

Crystal: <br>

Why don't you get your own place so you can live like you do<br>

And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you<br>

<br>

Tom: <br>

Take all your relatives and all of your shoes<br>

Believe me, I'll really swing when you're gone<br>

I'll be living on chicken and wine after we're through<br>

With someone I pick up after you<br>

Crystal: <br>

With someone I pick up after you<br>

Tom: <br>

With someone I pick up after you<br>

Crystal & Tom: <br>

With someone I pick up after you<br>

<br>
