Tom Waits - Dead and Lovely lyrics

She was a middle cla** girl She was in over her head She thought she could stand up in the deep end He had a bullet proof smile 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 j**elry 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 deeper You're falling fast Just like a plane on a stormy sea She made up someone to be She made up somewhere to be from This is one business in the world where that's no problem at all Everything that is left They will only plow under Soon every one you knew 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 it's price Everything has it's place What's more romantic than 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 so 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
