Picking Up After You Lyrics by Tom Waits

Picking Up After You Lyrics

    Here comes the bride
    And there goes the groom
    Looks like a hurricane
    Went thru this room
    Smells like a poolhall
    Where's my other shoe
    And i'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

    Looks like you spent the nite in a trench
    And tell me,
    How long have you been combing your hair with a wrench
    Blue roses are dead
    And the violets are too
    And i'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

    Well, i've told you before
    I won't tell you again
    You don't defrost the icebox
    With a ball point pen
    This railroad apartment
    Is held together with glue
    And i'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

    Because i know
    I been swindled
    I never bargained for this
    Once more you never cared about me
    Why don't you get your own place
    So you can live like you do
    And i'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you

    Take all your relatives
    And all of your shoes
    Believe me i'll really swing
    When you're gone
    I'll be living on chicken and wine
    After we're thru
    With someone i pick up after you
    With someone i'll pick up after you
    With someone i'll pick up after you
    With someone i'll pick up after you
