Rudy’s on the midwayand Jacob’s in the holethe monkey’s on the ladderthe devil shovels coalwith crows as big as airplanesthe lion has three headsand someone will eat the skin that he shedsand the earth died screamingthe earth died screamingwhile I lay dreaming of youWell hell doesn’t want youand heaven is fullbring me some waterput it in this skullI walk between the raindropswait in bug house squareand the army ants they leave nothin’ but the bonesand the earth died screaming while I lay dreaming of youThere was thunder there was lightningthen the stars went out and the moon fell from the skyit rained mackerel it rained troutand the great day of wrath has comeand here’s mud in your big red eyethe poker’s in the fire and the locusts take the sky
and the earth died screaming while I lay dreaming of you
