Tom Waits "Dead and Lovely" lyrics

Translation to:eltr

Dead and Lovely

She was a middle class girlShe was in over her headShe thought she wouldstand up in the deep end

He had a bullet proof smileHe had money to burnShe thought she had the moonin her pocket

But now she's deadShe's so deadForever dead and lovely now

I've always been told toremember this:Don't let a fool kiss youNever marry for love

He was hard to impressHe knew everyone's secretsHe wore her on his armJust like jewelry

He never gave but he gotHe kept her on a leashHe's not the kind of wheelyou fall asleep at

But now she's deadForever deadForever dead and lovely now

Come closer, look deeperYou've fallen fastJust like a plane on astormy sea

She made up someone to beShe made up somewhere to be fromThis is one business in theworld where that's noproblem at all

Everything that is leftThey will only plow underSoon every one you knowwill be gone

And now she's deadForever deadForever dead and lovely now

Now she's deadForever deadForever dead and lovely now

I've always been told toremember this:Don't let a kiss fool youNever marry for love

Everything has its priceEverything has its placeWhat's more romanticthen dying in the moonlight?

Now they're all watching the seaWhat's lost can never be brokenHer roots were sweetbut they were so shallow

And now she's deadForever deadForever dead and lovely now

And now she's deadForever deadAnd she's so dead and lovely now
