Tom Waits - Bad Liver & A Broken Heart Lyrics
Well I got a bad liver and broken heart, yeah,I drunk me a river since you tore me apartAnd I dont have a drinking problem, cept when I cant get a drinkAnd I wish youd a-known her, we were quite a pair,She was sharp as a razor and soft as a prayerSo welcome to the continuing saga, she was my better half, and I was just a dogAnd so here am I slumped, Ive been chipped and Ive been chumped on my stoolSo buy this fool some spirits and libations, its these railroad station barsAnd all these conductors and porters, and Im all out of quartersAnd this epitaph is the aftermath, yeah I choose my path, hey, come on, kath,Hes a lawyer, he aint the one for yaNo, the moon aint romantic, its intimidating as hell,And some guys trying to sell me a watchAnd so Ill meet you at the bottom of a bottle of bargain scotchI got me a bottle and a dream, its so maudlin it seems,You can name your poison, go on ahead and make some noiseI aint sentimental, this aint a purchase, its a rental, and its purgatory,And hey, whats your story, well I dont even carecause I got my own double-cross to bearAnd Ill see your red label, and Ill raise you one more,And you can pour me a cab, I just cant drink no more,cause it dont douse the flames that are started by dames,It aint like asbestosIt dont do nothing but rest us assured,And substantiate the rumors that youve heard
