Tom Waits

She was a middle class girl
She was in over her head
She thought she would
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 shes dead
Shes so dead
Forever dead and lovely now
Ive always been told to
remember this:
Dont let a fool kiss you
Never marry for love
He was hard to impress
He knew everyones secrets
He wore her on his arm
Just like jewelry
He never gave but he got
He kept her on a leash
Hes not the kind of wheel
you fall asleep at
But now shes dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
Come closer, look deeper
Youve 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 one business in the
world where thats no
problem at all
Everything that is left
They will only plow under
Soon every one you know
will be gone
And now shes dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
Now shes dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
Ive always been told to
remember this:
Dont let a kiss fool you
Never marry for love
Everything has its price
Everything has its place
Whats more romantic
then dying in the moonlight?
Now theyre all watching the sea
Whats lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
but they were so shallow
And now shes dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
And now shes dead
Forever dead
And shes so dead and lovely now
