Lyrics Tom Waits – Dead And Lovely
Text:
She was a middle class girl
She was in over her head
She thought she could
Stand up in the deep end
He had money to burn
She thought she had the moon
In her pocket
But now she’s dead
She’s so dead forever
Dead and lovely now
I’ve always been told to
Remember this
Don’t let a fool kiss you
Never marry for love
He was hard to impress
He knew everyone’s secrets
He wore her on his arm
Just like jewelry
He never gave but he got
He kept her on a leash
He’s not the kind of wheel
You fall asleep at
But now she’s dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
Come closer look deep
You’ve fallen fast
Just like a plane on a
Stormy sea
She made up somewhere to
Be from
This is one business in the
World where that’s no
Problem at all
Every thing that is left
They will only plow under
Soon every one you know
Will be gone
And now she’s dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
But now she’s dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
I’ve always been told to
Remember this
Don’t let a kiss fool you
Never marry for love
Everything has its price
Everything has its place
What’s more romantic
Then dying in the moonlight?
Now they’re all watching
The sea
What’s lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
But they were shallow
And now she’s dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
And now she’s dead
Forever dead
And she’s so dead and lovely now
