What's He Building? (Remastered)

What's He Building In There - Tom Waits (湯姆·威茲)

What's he building in there

What the hell is he building

In there

He has subscriptions to those

Magazines

He never

Waves when he goes by

He's hiding something from

The rest of us

He's all

To himself

I think I know

Why

He took down the

Tire swing from the peppertree

He has no children of his

Own you see

He has no dog

And he has no friends and

His lawn is dying and

What about all those packages

He sends

What's he building in there

With that hook light

On the stairs

What's he building

In there

I'll tell you one thing

He's not building a playhouse for

The children what's he building

In there

Now what's that sound from under the door

He's pounding nails into a

Hardwood floor and I

Swear to god I heard someone

Moaning low and I keep

Seeing the blue light of a

T V Show

He has a router

And a table saw

And you

Won't believe what mr Sticha saw

There's poison underneath the sink

Of course

But there's also

Enough formaldehyde to choke

A horse

What's he building

In there

What the hell is he

Building in there

I heard he

Has an ex-wife in some place

Called mayors income tennessee

And he used to have a

Consulting business in indonesia

But what is he building in there

He has no friends

But he gets a lot of mail

I'll bet he spent a little

Time in jail

I heard he was up on the

Roof last night

Signaling with a flashlight

And what's that tune he's

Always whistling

What's he building in there

What's he building in there

We have a right to know
