The Earth Died Screaming

The Earth Died Screaming - Tom Waits (湯姆·威茲)

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

While I lay dreaming

And 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

Wait in Bug House Square

And the army ants

They leave nothin' but the bones

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

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

And the earth died screaming

While I lay dreaming

And the earth died screaming

While I lay dreaming

While I lay dreaming

While I lay dreaming of you

While I lay dreaming of you

While I lay dreaming of you
