Dead And Lovely Lyrics - Tom Waits

She was a middle class girl 

She was in over her head 

She thought she would 

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 

Forever dead 

Forever dead and lovely now 

Come closer, look deeper 

You've fallen fast 

Just like a plane on a 

Stormy sea 

Photos 

She made up someone to be 

She made up somewhere to be from 

This is one business in the 

World where that's no 

Problem at all 

Everything that is left 

They will only plow under 

Soon every one you know 

Will be gone 

And now she's dead 

Forever dead 

Forever dead and lovely now 

Now she's dead 

Forever dead 

Forever dead and lovely now 

I've always been told to 

Remember this... 

Don't let a kiss fool you 

Never marry for love 

Everything has it's price [2x] 

What's more romantic 

Then dying in the moonlight? 

Now they're all watching the sea 

What's lost can never be broken 

Her roots were sweet 

But they were so shallow 

And now she's dead 

Forever dead 

Forever dead and lovely now 

And now she's dead 

Forever dead 

And she's so dead and lovely now
