Dead and Lovely Tom Waits

She was a middle-class girl
She was in over her head
She thought she could stand up in the deep end
He had a bulletproof 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're falling fast
Just like a plane on the stormy sea
