Lyrics for Little Drop Of Poison as interpreted by archmastermind

Little Drop Of Poison Lyrics
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



She left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall

She always had that little drop of poison

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 why god was sleeping

Someone said you'll never get a wish from a bone

Another wrong good-bye nd a hundred sailors

That deep blue sky is my home



She left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall

She always had that little drop of poison

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

I remember when a million was a million

They all have ways to make you pay

They all have ways to make you pay

this song makes shrek2 rock. seriously. Tom Waits is an excellent evil pirate. it's the role he was born to play.

there is deep emotion involved in this song.
it's almost as if he's tearing out what he feels for the girl that left him, she poisoned him.
he sings the depth of his being. great song.

The lyrics above are pretain to the original version of the song, which was recorded in 1997 for the soundtrack to the film "End of Violence". Waits rerecorded thia song in 2003 for "Shrek2", with a slightly different arrangement (my favorite being the latter). the lyric arrangements are different in the new version.

"I like my town with a little drop of poison"

He likes things that a little bit twisted. He doesn't want a happy nice healthy life... it's more fun when everythings darker and more mysterious.

Not strictly lyrics, but can anybody tell me if that's a tango rhythm? It's driving me nuts!
