The Wages Of Love Lyrics by Tom Waits

The Wages Of Love 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
