God`s Away On Bussiness — текст песни (Tom Waits)

I`d sell your heart to the junkman baby
For a buck, for a buck
If you`re looking for someone
to pull you out of that ditch
You`re out of luck, you`re out of luck

The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
There`s leak, there`s leak,
in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves, and lawyers

God`s away, God`s away,
God`s away on Business. Business.
God`s away, God`s away,
God`s away on Business. Business.

Digging up the dead with
a shovel and a pick
It`s a job, it`s a job
Bloody moon rising with
a plague and a flood
Jain the bob, join the mob
It`s all over, it`s all over, it`s all over
There`s a lick, there`s a lick,
in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves, and lawyers

God`s away, God`s away, God`s away
On Business. Business.
God`s away, God`s away,
On Business. Business.
(Ha!)

(Instrumental Break)

Goddamn there`s always such
a big temptation
To be good, To be good
There`s always free cheddar in a mousetrap, baby
It`s a deal, it`s a deal

God`s away, God`s away, God`s away
On Business. Business.
God`s away, God`s away, God`s away
On Business. Business.

I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby,
Let her ring, let her ring
God`s away, God`s away,
God`s away on Business.
Business...
