Bad Liver And A Broken Heart — текст песни (Tom Waits)

Well I got a bad liver and a 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 the 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.
