Tom Waits Heartattack & Vine Lyrics

Liar liar with your pants on fire, white spades hangin on the telephone
Wire, gamblers reevaluate along the dotted line, youll 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, youll have to wait in line, youll probably
See someone you know on heartattack and vine.

Boneys high on china white, shorty found a punk, dont you know there aint
No devil, theres just God when hes drunk, well this stuff will probably kill You, lets 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 shes still a virgin but its 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, youll find your ignorance is blissful every goddamn
Time, yourre waitin for the rtd on heartattack and vine.
