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

Lay your head where my heart used to be

Hold the earth above me

Lay down in the green grass

Remember when you loved me

Come closer don’t be shy

Stand beneath a rainy sky

The moon is over the rise

Think of me as a train goes by

Clear the thistles and brambles

Whistle ‘Didn’t He Ramble’

Now there’s a bubble of me

And it’s floating in thee

Stand in the shade of me

Things are now made of me

The weather vane will say…

It smells like rain today

God took the stars and he tossed ’em

Can’t tell the birds from the blossoms

You’ll never be free of me

He’ll make a tree from me

Don’t say good bye to me

Describe the sky to me

And if the sky falls, mark my words

We’ll catch mocking birds

Lay your head where my heart used to be

Hold the earth above me

Lay down in the green grass

Remember when you loved me

Tom Waits – Green Glass

While I was an honorable man in her eyes, she did not love me. But the minute she understood what I was, when she breathed the true and foul odor of my soul, love was born in her – for she does love me !
Well, well ! There is nothing real, then, except evil.
– Octave Mirbeau –
