Waits Tom Heartattack And Vine Lyrics


2.Heartattack And Vine

liar liar with your pants on fire, white spades hangin' on the
telephone
wire, gamblers reevaluate along the dotted line, you'll never
recognize
yourself on heartattack and vine.

doctor lawyer beggar man thief, philly joe remarkable looks on
in disbelief,
if you want a taste of madness, you'll have to wait in line,
you'll probably
see someone you know on heartattack and vine.

boney's high on china white, shorty found a punk, don't you know
there ain't
no devil, there's just god when he's drunk, well this stuff will
probably kill
you, let's do another line, what you say you meet me down on
heartattack and
vine.

see that little jersey girl in the see-through top, with the
peddle pushers
sucking on a soda pop, well i bet she's still a virgin but it's
only twenty-
five 'til nine, you can see a million of 'em on heartattack and
vine.

better off in iowa against your scrambled eggs, than crawling
down cahuenga
on a broken pair of legs, you'll find your ignorance is blissful
every goddamn
time, your're waitin' for the rtd on heartattack and vine.
