Poor Edward Lyrics - Alice (the Original Demos) - Tom Waits

Did you hear the news about edward? 

on the back of his head he had another face 

was it a woman's face or a young girl? 

they said to remove it would kill him 

so poor edward was doomed 

The face could laugh and cry 

it was his devil twin 

and at night she spoke to him 

things heard only in hell 

but they were impossible to separate 

chained together for life 

Finally the bell tolled his doom 

he took a suite of rooms 

and hung himself and her from the balcony irons 

some still believe he was freed from her 

but i knew her too well 

i say she drove him to suicide 

and took poor edward to hell
