The Wages of Love — текст песни (Tom Waits)

Down thru the ages

All the sages

Said dont spend your wages on love



Graft and collusion

_____ the intrusion

And proceeding foreclosures

Theres overexposures



Down at the crossroads

The question is posed

Bridge is washed out

And the highways closed



___ ___ ___ reason

Firmly believe

Love was designed

To exploit and deceive



Theres a _____

Wherever you send em

Every ball ___ ___ in your chest

You will see

Simple addition

Keeps with tradition

Dont spend your wages on love



Taking any burgh any city or town

Just get on main street and

Drive all the way down



You see love has a graveyard

___ ___ __ ___

___ ___ ___ ___ ___

And paid thru the nose



Your shovels a shot glass

Dig your own hole

Bury whats left of your miserable soul



Down thru the ages

All the sages

Said dont spend your wages on love



Graft and collusion

_____ the intrusion

And proceeding foreclosures

Theres overexposures



Down at the crossroads

The question is posed

Bridge is washed out

And the highways closed
