Earth Died Screaming Lyrics

    (tom waits)

    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 the skin that he sheds
    And the earth died screaming
    The earth died screaming
    While i lay dreaming of you
    Well hell doesn't want you
    And heaven is full
    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

    There was thunder
    There was lightning
    Then the stars went out
    And 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
    And the earth died screaming
    While i lay dreaming of you
