Gods Away On Business
Tom Waits
I’d sell your heart to the junkman baby for a buck for a buck. If you’re looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch You’re out of luck you’re out of luck. The ship is sinking the ship is sinking The ship is sinking. There’s leak there’s leak in the boiler room. The poor the lame the blind Who are the ones that we kept in charge Killers thieves and lawyers? God’s away God’s away God’s away on business business. God’s away God’s away God’s away on business business Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick. It’s a job it’s a job Bloody moon rising with a plague and a flood. Jain the mob jain the mob. It’s all over it’s all over it’s all over. There’s a leak there’s a leak in the boiler room. The poor the lame the blind Who are the ones that we kept in charge Killers thieves and lawyers? God’s away God’s away God’s away on business business. God’s away God’s away on business business. Instrumental: God damn there’s always such a big temptation To be good To be good. There’s always free cheddar in a mousetrap baby It’s a deal it’s a deal. God’s away God’s away God’s away on business business. God’s away God’s away God’s away on business business. I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby. Let her ring let her ring. God’s away God’s away God’s away on business. God’s away God’s away God’s away on business
