Tom Waits - Bad Liver And A Broken Heart lyrics

Your rating:

I drunk me a river since you tore me apart
 And I don't have a drinking problem, 'cept when I can't get a drink
 And I wish you'd a-known her, we were quite a pair,
 She was sharp as a razor and soft as a prayer
 So welcome to the continuing saga, she was my better half, and I was just a dog
 And so here am I slumped, I've been chipped and I've been chumped on my stool
 So buy this fool some spirits and libations, it's these railroad station bars
 And all these conductors and porters, and I'm all out of quarters
 And this epitaph is the aftermath, yeah I choose my path, hey, come on, Kath,
 He's a lawyer, he ain't the one for ya
 No, the moon ain't romantic, it's intimidating as hell,
 And some guy's trying to sell me a watch
 And so I'll meet you at the bottom of a bottle of bargain Scotch
 I got me a bottle and a dream, it's so maudlin it seems,
 You can name your poison, go on ahead and make some noise
 I ain't sentimental, this ain't a purchase, it's a rental, and it's purgatory,
 And hey, what's your story, well I don't even care
 Cause I got my own double-cross to bear


 And I'll see your Red Label, and I'll raise you one more,
 And you can pour me a cab, I just can't drink no more,
 Cause it don't douse the flames that are started by dames,
 It ain't like asbestos
 It don't do nothing but rest us assured,
 And substantiate the rumors that you've heard
