Tom Waits
Earth Died Screaming
[Verse 1]
Rudy's on the midway
And Jacob's in the hole
The monkey's on the ladder
The Devil shovels coal
With crows as big as airplanes
The lion has three heads
And someone will eat
All the skin that he sheds

[Chorus]
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Dreaming of you

[Verse 2]
Hell doesn't want you
And Heaven is full
Bring me some water
Put it in this skull
I walk between the raindrops
I wait in bug house square
And the army ants, they leave
Nothing but the bones
[Chorus]
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Dreaming of you, yeah
Dreaming of you

[Verse 3]
There was thunder
There was lightning
All the stars went out
The moon fell from the sky
It rained mackerel, it rained trout
And the great day of wrath has come
And here's mud in your big red eye
The poker's in the fire
And the locusts take the sky

[Chorus]
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Dreaming of you
Dreaming of you
Dreaming of you
Dreaming of you
While I'm dreaming of you
While I'm dreaming of you
While I'm dreaming of you
While I'm dreaming of you
