Tom Waits – Bad Liver And A Broken Heart (in Lowell) Lyrics  Share

From Tom Waits's album: Small Change

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
