Edit: Oops, my reading comprehension is poor today; didn't see the four lines bit. I'll edit shortly.


There ain't no devil, only God when he's drunk
It ain't no sin, to take off your skin and dance around in your bones
How do the angels get to sleep when the devil leaves his porch light on?
Lookin' for a good time starts with throwin' in the line.

(Tom Waits - Come On Up To The House)

Fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out jacks or better on a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
Send me off to bed for evermore

(Tom Waits, Tango 'Til They're Sore)

The poker's in the fire
And the locusts take the sky
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming of you

(Tom Waits again)

..Still working on choosing my favorite four lines from the other ones.
