tom waits - god's away on business lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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

[hook]
ship is sinking
the ship is sinking
the ship is sinking

[verse 2]
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
k!llers, thieves, and lawyers

[chorus]
god’s away, god’s away
god’s away on business, business
god’s away, god’s away
god’s away on business, business

[verse 3]
digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick
it’s a job, it’s a job
bl–dy moon rising with a plague and a flood
join the mob, join the mob

[hook]
it’s all over
it’s all over
it’s all over

[verse 4]
and 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?
k!llers, thieves, and lawyers

[chorus]
god’s away, god’s away
god’s away on business, business
god’s away, god’s away
on business, business

[instrumental]

[verse 5]
godd-mn 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

[chorus]
god’s away, god’s away
god’s away on business, business
god’s away, god’s away
god’s away on business, business

[verse 6]
i narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby
let her ring, let her ring

[chorus]
god’s away, god’s away
god’s away on business
god’s away, god’s away
god’s away on business, business
