Artist/Band: Tom Waits
Lyrics for Song: God's Away On Business
Lyrics for Album: Blood Money [2002]



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



Ship is sinking

The ship is sinking

The ship is sinking



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

God's away on business, business



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

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



Godddamn 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



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, business

God's away, God's away

God's away on business, business
