Earth Died Screaming Lyrics - Bone Machine - 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 the 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 mothin' 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 mackeral 

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
