everything goes to hell

hoş bir tom waits parçasıdır.


why be sweet, why be careful, why he kind?
a man has only one thing on his mind
why ask palitely, why go lightly,
why say please?
they only want to get you on your knees
there are a few things i never could believe
a woman when she weeps
a merchant when he swears
a thief who says he’ll pay
a lawyer when he cares
a snake when he is sleeping
a drunkard when he prays
i don’t believe you go to heaven
when you’re good
everything goes to hell, anyway...

laissez-faire mi amour, ce la vie
shall i return to shore or swim
back out to sea?
the world don’t care what a soldier
does in town
it’s all hanging in the windows
by the pound
there are few things
i never could believe...

a woman when she weeps
a merchant when he swears
a thief who says he’ll pay
a lawyer when he cares
a snake when he is sleeping
a drunkard when he prays
i don’t believe you go to heaven
when you’re good
everything goes to hell, anyway...

i only want to hear your purr and to hear
ou moan there is another man who brings
the money home
i don’t want dishes in the sink
please don’t tell me what you
feel of what you think
there are few things i never could believe..
