Tom Waits Dead and Lovely

Listen to the full album: Dead and Lovely by Tom Waits from the album Real Gone Lyrics She was a middle class girl 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 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 She s so 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 someone to be She made up somewhere to Be from This is
