Little Drop Of Poison

Little Drop Of Poison
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

And 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
You'll never get a wish from a bone
Another wrong goodbye and a hundred sailors
That deep blue sky is my home
And 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
Well, I remember when a million was a million
They all have ways to make you pay
And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison
And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison
En esta cautivadora canción de Tom Waits, nos sumergimos en un mundo en el que la oscuridad y la melancolía se entrelazan con una extraña belleza. El narrador describe su amor por su pueblo, que está impregnado de un toque de veneno, un misterio que atrae a todos hacia la locura sin que nadie lo sepa...
