Little Drop of Poison lyrics
by Tom Waits
[Verse 1]
I like my town with a little drop of poison
Nobody knows they're lining up to go insane
I'm all alone, I smoked my friends down to the filter
But I feel much cleaner after it rains
[Chorus]
And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison
[Verse 2]
Did the devil make the world while god was sleeping?
You'll never get a wish from a bone
Another long goodbye and a hundred sailors
That deep blue sky is my home
[Chorus]
And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison
[Verse 3]
And the rat always knows when he's in with weasels
Here you lose a little every day
Well I remember when a million was a million
They all have ways to make you pay
[Chorus]
And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison
[Chorus]
And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison
