Artist/Band: Tom Waits
Lyrics for Song: Picking Up After You
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Tom Waits



Here comes the bride and there goes the groom

Looks like a hurricane went through this room

Smells like a pool hall, where's my other shoe?

And I'm sick and tired of pickin' up after you



Looks like you spent the night 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'm being 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 through

With someone, I pick up after you



With someone, I'll pick up after you

With someone, I pick up after you

With someone, I'll pick up after you
