 Send Tom Waits "God's Away On Business" Ringtones to your Cell  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 Ship is sinking The ship is sinking The ship is sinking There's a leak, there's a 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 Join the mob, join the mob It's all over, it's all over It's all over There's a leak, there's a 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 on business, business Godddamn 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 God's away, God's away God's away on business, business |
