God's Away On Busines Lyrics

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
{Refrain}: 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
Digging up the dead With a shovel and a pick [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/gods-away-on-busines-lyrics-tom-waits.html ] 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
{Refrain}
{Chorus}
~ Instrumental ~
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
{Chorus}
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
