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 …

Tom Waits – Little drop of poison

Alone, I often fall down into nothingness. I must push my foot stealthily lest I should fall off the edge of the world into nothingness. I have to bang my head against some hard door to call myself back to the body.

– Virginia Woolf – The Waves
