Tom Waits - Earth Died Screaming lyrics
[Tom Waits - Earth Died Screaming lyrics]
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
Well, 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 nothin' but the bones
And 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
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
I lay dreaming of you (dreaming of you)
I'm dreaming of you (dreaming of you)
I'm dreaming of you (dreaming of you)
I'm dreaming of you (dreaming of you)
