Bad Liver And A Broken Heart lyrics

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
