Original song by 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

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

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

She left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison
