TOM WAITS lyrics : "Everything Goes To Hell"

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...
