Little Drop of Poison - Tom Waits

I like my town with a little drop of poison

Nobody knows they're lining up to go insane

I'm all alone, I smoke my friends down to the filter

But I feel much cleaner after it rains



She left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall

She always had that little drop of poison

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

Someone said you'll never get a wish from a bone

Another wrong good-bye and a hundred sailors

That deep blue sky is my home



She left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall

She always had that little drop of poison

She left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall

She always had that little drop of poison



A rat always knows when he's in with weasels

Here you lose a little every day

I remember when a million was a million

They all have ways to make you pay

They all have ways to make you pay
