Scotch & Water Blues Lyrics - Spin Doctors

I've held your hand and sunk your ships 

And I can read our future in the whiskey on your lips 

Watch this ice a-melting; cool glass magnify my palms 

And from the church on sunday evening comes the sifted sound of psalms 

Things they go and then come around to stops 

Now my baby's just a breeze through the treetops 

Glass in my hand, my back to the door 

My one consolation is I ain't your man anymore 

The drop 

Oh, I worry just about the drop 

Oh, I worry just about the drop 

'cause it's not the fall that kills you, 

But, the sudden stop

Machiavelli on the door 

The shogun dropped his chopsticks in the bowl 

Oh, you might be a pastor, but you never pay the toll 

I'm flippin' from left to right 

Oh, I'm flippin' like a moth tonight 

I could never ask your baby, 

I'll wish for you tonight 

I'll wish for you 

I worry just about the drop 

I worry about the drop 

'cause it's not the fall that kills you, 

It's that sudden stop 

That sudden stop, now 

Is she alligator 

Yeah, she's a crocodile 

She got that ancient ? 

That's just hanging out of her smile

When she called you at the keyhole, brother 

She knew it all the while 

Oh, I worry just about the drop 

Oh, I worry (I'm so worried, mama) about the drop 

'cause it's not the fall that kills you, 

But that sudden stop
