Artist : Tom Waits Song : Bad Liver And A Broken Heart
Well I got a bad liver and broken heart,
yeah, 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
