God’s Away on Business
Tom Waits
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
It's all over
It's all over
It's all over

[Verse 4]
And 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

[Chorus]
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
On business, business, ha

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 5]
Goddamn there's always such a big temptation
To be good, to be good
There's always free cheddar in the mousetrap, baby
It's a deal, it's a deal
[Chorus]
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business

[Verse 6]
I narrow my eyes like a coin slot, baby
Let her ring, let her ring

[Chorus]
God's away, God's away
God's away on business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
