Earth Died Screaming
Tom Waits Rudy's on the midway the devil shovels coal and Jacob's in the hole the monkey's on the ladder with crows as big as airplanes the lion has three heads and the earth died screaming and someone will eat the skin that he sheds the earth died screaming while I lay dreaming of you and heaven is full Well hell doesn't want you bring me some water put it in this skull I walk between the raindrops wait in bug house square and the army ants they leave nothin' but the bones and the earth died screaming while I lay dreaming of you then the stars went out and the moon fell from the sky it rained mackerel it rained trout There was thunder there was lightning and here's mud in your big red eye the poker's in the fire and the locusts take the sky and the great day of wrath has come and the earth died screaming while I lay dreaming of you |
