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 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 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
