Tom Waits (born Thomas Alan Waits, in Pomona, California, on December 7, 1949) is a prolific American singer, songwriter, composer, and actor.
He started his career in the early 1970s as a singer in spit 'n' sawdust bars. Initially, he was deeply influenced by the beat generation, novelists like Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs, and poets like Allen Ginsberg and Charles Bukowski. Waits is often compared to Charles Bukowski, being similar both in content and lifestyle

note: A7+9 5-4-5-5-5-x
Intro: A7+9
Dm Liar, liar with your pants on fire A7 White spades hanging on the telephone wire Dm7G7 Gamblers reevaluate along the dotted line Dm (tacet) A7+9 You'll never recognize yourself on heartattack and vine
Doctor, lawyer, beggar man, thief Philly Joe Remarkable looks on in disblief If you watn 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 God when he's drunk Well, this stuff'll probably kill you lets do another line What you say you meet me down at heartattack and vine
See that little jersey girl in the see-through top, With the pedal pushers, suckin' on a soda pop Well I'll bet that she's still a virgin But it's only twenty-five to nine You can see a million of 'em on heartattack and vine
Better off in Iowa against your scrambled eggs Then crawlin' down Cahuenga on a broken pair of legs You'll find your ignorance is blissful ev'ry goddamn time You're waiting 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 God when he's drunk Well, this stuff'll probably kill you lets do another line What you say you meet me down at heartattack and vine
