Earth Died Screaming
Tom Waits Lyrics
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 the he sheds
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Well, the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
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
I wait in Bug House square
And the army ants
They leave mothin' but the bones
Well, the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Well, the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Well, the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
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
And the poker's in the fire
And the locusts take the sky
Well, the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Well, the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Well, the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Dreaming of you
Well, dreaming of you
Well, dreaming of you
Well, dreaming of you

It sounds like someone is using human ribcages for xylophones.

Sadly this song is really relatable right now, but it's already long dead. We just keep blazing it's corpse.
BoulderBro999 why?

Postmortem Ritual
Year after year Tom Wait's music turns more and more coherent than almost everything outhere. Even than life itself.

Right on target again .

"I walk between the raindrops" is my favorite Tom Waits line.
