Tom Waits — God’s Away on Business

[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 [Chorus] 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? Killers, 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 Bloody moon rising with a plague and a flood Join the mob, join the mob [Chorus] 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? Killers, 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, ha [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 5] Goddamn there's always such a big temptation To be good, to be good There's always free cheddar in the 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
