Tom Waits

Gods Away On Business

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 tin 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.

Goddamn ther'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.
