The Earth Died Screaming

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

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)
