Tom Waits

[JohnnyThief]

Tonight, in Atlanta! Somehow my beloved business partner & heterolifemate Matt scored tickets! It's a four hour drive each way, but phukin hell, it's TOM WAITS! YES!

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

He puts on a great show - unless you've listened to a lot of bootlegs. Then you'll notice he repeats lots of jokes and anecdotes. But then you realize "Hey, it's my fault because I listened to those bootlegs.".

Enjoy the show. And the drive.
