Heart Attack and Vine - Screamin' Jay Hawkins

Liar, liar with your drawers 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, that’s just Screamin' Jay when he’s 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 to nine

You can see a million of 'em down on heartattack and vine

Better off in Iowa against your scrambled eggs

Than crawling down the boulevard on a pair of broken legs

You’ll find that ignorance is bliss every goddamn time

You’re waitin' for the RTD on heartattack and vine

Boney’s high on China White, Shorty found a punk

Don’t you know there ain’t no devil, that’s just Screamin' Jay when he’s drunk

Well this stuff will probably kill you, let’s do another line

What you say you meet me down on heartattack and vine

Liar liar with your pants on fire

White spades hangin' on a 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

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 to nine

You can see a million of 'em down on heartattack and vine

Boney’s high on China White, Shorty found a punk

Don’t you know there ain’t no devil, that’s just Screamin' Jay when he’s drunk

Well this stuff will probably kill you, let’s do another line

What you say you meet me down on heartattack and vine

I see fellows, checkin' out the girls

You’re lookin' good
