A Little Drop Of Poison Songtext
von Tom Waits

I like my town
With a little drop of poison
Nobody knows they′re linin' 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 goodbye
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 everyday

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
