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 is 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 pair of broken legs,
you'll find your ignorance is blissful every goddamn time,
you're waiting for the rtd on heartattack and vine.

- tom waits

Dear God,

Thany you for my baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy.

Joyce


This line reminded me of a family favorite quote from my then 8 year old daughter the day her 3rd brother was born.
Her dad went to the friends house where the kids were staying to tell them then news, that they had a new brother. Upon hearing the news....she honesty dropped sobbing to the ground......and said, in a none to pleasant voice,

Daddy, I am not praying for any more babies for you, because it will just be another BOY

as she stayed there on the ground and wept.
(makes being the one at the hospital having the baby worth it...not having to deal with that scene!!)

two years post script.....

She now tells her brother......You are better than any sister.....I love you!!!
