Tom Waits - Little Drop Of Poison lyrics

rate me

I like my town with a little drop of poison

Nobody knows they're lining up to go insane

I'm all alone, I smoke my friends down to the filter

But I feel much cleaner after it rains

And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall,

She always had that little drop of poison.

Did the devil make the world while god was sleeping

You'll never get a wish from a bone.

Another wrong good-bye and a hundred sailors

That deep blue sky is my home.

And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall,

She always had that little drop of poison.

Well, a rat always knows when he's in with weasels

Here you lose a little every day.

Well, I remember when a million was a million

They all have ways to make you pay.

And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall,

She always had that little drop of poison.

And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall,

She always had that little drop of poison.
