The Wages Of Love lyrics
Song information
Artist: Tom Waits Album: One From The Heart
Lyrics
Down thru the ages All the sages Said don't spend your wages on love
Graft and collusion _____ the intrusion And proceeding foreclosures There's overexposures
Down at the crossroads The question is posed Bridge is washed out And the highway's closed
___ ___ ___ reason Firmly believe Love was designed To exploit and deceive
There's a _____ Wherever you send 'em Every ball ___ ___ in your chest You will see Simple addition Keeps with tradition Don't spend your wages on love
Taking any burgh any city or town Just get on main street and Drive all the way down
You see love has a graveyard ___ ___ __ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ And paid thru the nose
Your shovel's a shot glass Dig your own hole Bury what's left of your miserable soul
Down thru the ages All the sages Said don't spend your wages on love
Graft and collusion _____ the intrusion And proceeding foreclosures There's overexposures
Down at the crossroads The question is posed Bridge is washed out And the highway's closed
