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 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 nothin' 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 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 of you
Tom Waits, "Earth Died Screaming" Bone machine, 1992
Friday left me fumblin' with the blues And it's hard to win when you always lose Because the nightspots spend your spirit beat your head against the wall Two dead ends and you've still got to choose
You know the bartenders they all know my name And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head When I should be living clean instead
You know the ladies I've been seeing off and on Well they spend your love and then they're gone You can't be lovin' someone who is savage and cruel Take your love and then they leave on out of town, no they do
Well now fallin' in love is such a breeze(3) But its standin' up that's so hard for me I wanna squeeze you but I'm scared to death I'd break your back You know your perfume well it won't let me be
And you know the bartenders all know my name And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head When I should be living clean instead
Well, come on baby let your love light shine Gotta bury me inside of your fire Because your eyes are 'nough to blind me You're like a-looking at the sun You gotta whisper tell me I'm the one Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one Gotta whisper tell me I'm the one Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one.
Fumblin' with the Blues. The Heart Of Saturday Night, 1974
Baby you're going Down In The Dark Show my lonely night is fallen and I don't have very long Think [I] might of broke my boil Within my face might burn You're gonna make it better for a little while
Baby you're gonna die someday See you in your crowded wasted , then you start to fade That when we start singing faster I wouldn't wait so long Won't get any easier in the Dark
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeahh You Will, You Will, You Will....

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
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 nothin' 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 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 of you

Baby you're going Down In The Dark
Show my lonely night is fallen and I don't have very long
Think [I] might of broke my boil
Within my face might burn
You're gonna make it better for a little while
Baby you're gonna die someday
See you in your crowded wasted , then you start to fade

Won't get any easier in the Dark
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeahh
You Will, You Will, You Will....
