Tom Waits – Dead And Lovely Lyrics  Share

From Tom Waits's album: Real Gone

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 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
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now

Come closer, look deeper
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 one business in the
[ Dead And Lovely lyrics from

world where that^,s no
problem at all

Everything that is left
They will only plow under
Soon every one you know
will be gone

And now she^,s dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now

Now she^,s dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now

I^,ve always been told to
remember this:
Don^,t let a kiss fool you
Never marry for love

Everything has its price
Everything has its place
What^,s more romantic
then dying in the moonlight?

Now they^,re all watching the sea
What^,s lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
but they were so shallow

And now she^,s dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now

And now she^,s dead
Forever dead
And she^,s so dead and lovely now
