- 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

i used this song for an english project in middle school. of course everyone laughed (even the teacher), but i knew it worked perfectly and still have no regrets. looking back im actually really proud of my younger self for having the courage to play a song like this in front of my entire middle school class
You already had excellent taste at that young age. 👌🏻
Kindred spirits 4 life we r!
I played sisters of mercy, all the love i can get. Totally embarassing ( yeh before i found tom) but i was comitted. Dont mind sayin so, but if i knew bone machine i'd be totally rockin this. Or collosseum, or out west, dirt in the ground. Fek, the most embarrassing was explaining the song, and my choice. Still, i held my ground. I didn't faint.
Tom woulda been so much better. I woulda just held up my finger and tell em to work it out for themselves. While i had a blissfull nap under the blackboard.
There's an addictively sinister quality about this song that always sends delicious shivers up my spine every time I hear it. Tom is marvellous.
Don't really care about those who don't get Tom Waits; he is certainly the most unique musical talent I have come across in my fifty years on this planet. I just think myself lucky to have found him so early in my life
I am just sad, that I won't see him perform live.
Agreed. I was lucky, my parent's raised me on Tom Waits. I'm almost 40 now and have raised my 17 yr old on him. I stand at the kitchen sick washing dishes listening to him and think how many countless times my mother has done the same. I cannot imagine that any other human being, having not one of us ever met, had such a deep impact on me and my connections to my loved ones. I'm so grateful that he exists in this world and has chosen to share!
I just discovered Tom Waits today and I absolutely love his voice
Watch his roles in movies like Down By Law and other Jarmusch movies.
If I ever go insane, I want it to be with this song playing in my head.
His song Singapore would work well too
This song has been one of my favourites for about 25 years, it's never felt so appropriate: we're in a global choke -hold
I love that voice! This man's music is simultaneously dark and funny!
This song is legitimately frightening!
My dad loved Tom waits. I never got to really know my dad but listening to these songs makes me understand what happened to my dad.
“As the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Dreaming of you “
Had this song stuck in my head while I was trying to go to sleep the other night.
Just didn't sleep.
Jonathan Morse and yet I lay dreaming
While the earth died screaming, Bluriculdii27.
Very soothing. Try some thing laid back like Sun Ra
Guess heaven was full eh?
Jonathan Morse that was a good idea
I've more or less grown up with Tom. 'Baptized' with "The piano has been drinking", been a fan ever since. Best singer / writer I've heard in all my 58yrs.
The last 30 seconds of this song... Unbelievable. I love this man.
Best love song ever? "It rained mackerel, it rained trout /... / Well, the earth died screaming, while I lay dreaming, dreaming of you". I wish that someone, someday will sing that song for me :-) But until then, the genious music of Tom Waits is a blessing of love!
I get completely absorbed into the percussions of this song. It’s like sorcery.
Awesome song. Had it stuck in my head all day.
Tom is a mystic artist
You are correct Sonysam. I don't know what this means, but it has impacted me greatly. I will never forget "The Earth Died Screaming While I Lay Dreaming."
Indeed he is.
Tom Waits often visits the cafe where my mom works, she says he'll rudely shoo away anyone who tries talking to him.
what cafe?
@@Geodelifestyles Acre Coffee in Petaluma, California.
yeah. that sounds about right. He's a genius, but he's also a notorious grouch.
@@apullcan the song "Little Drop of Poison" really confirms that about him.
Marvin the Maniac thanks for this bit of info. excuse me as I go and stalk my hero from the 90’s.
This is a great song to enjoy Tom Waits' voice☆.
This proves two things: 1. Tom waits is a total genius; 2. I have to see this movie ASAP!!!
Tom Waits - Class always
Tom Waits and Les Claypool. Doesn't get much better...
theFrizzleFry It sure doesn't 😎
No, it doesn’t. Was just listening to “Coattails of a Dead Man”.
Thanks for declaring that information, what a magnificent ensemble.
His music is really just a controlled racket. Love it.
I'm not too sure how, but Tom Waits got me through my divorce...
He's a surprisingly involved lay
...and me through the dissolution of a 28-year partnership.
The cause of and solution yo all of life's problems....
I feel that :\
coz He learn how to be alone...
He is brilliant. Hell of a subterranean poet, in the great lineage of Delta blues, the Beats, Howlin Wolf, Captain Beefheart and Patti Smith, etc al. Rain Dogs is in my top five favorite albums of all time ( with A Love Supreme, Astral Weeks, Doolittle, and Trout Mask Replica) and "16 Shells" is such a masterpiece. I hadn't gotten around to Bone Machine yet. Nice to discover it.
Wow, is that what my voice really sounds like? Cool.
Tom Waits yes Tom, been fan long time i am 71yrs
Ebin
yeah, er, thanks Tom and er, hope this aint too goddamn forward'n'all could you see your way to shooting me a few bucks - hey, I promise to fritter it away on cheap booze ?
I dunno really if this is Tom but if so, you’re an insane genius every age needs
Isn’t is nice?
Uhm, I never have heard of Tom Waite & I am not sure that I should have listened to him @ 2:00 a.m. bc I am luvin' his sound! Fantastic!
Well done Sir I've always enjoyed your no matter the medium. Hat's off.
I love him I. Had not heard of him before a,nurse here had him on I love his raw blues sound creepy and soulful
This video is sic asF for this song.
First heard this track on 12 monkeys...this video looks like what would have happened after the movie
One of my favorites
I made my buddy actually shoot Pepsi out of his nose by singing the opening verse of this song in Christopher Walken's voice. Good times.
I hope you gave it back when you were done with it.
Walken would be hard up without his voice.
dantesinporno I sang this in a gravelly voice round a campfire at a party sounding just like waits and freaked everyone out
I would like to hear that?
You my friend are a genius
I'm really glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read this! X3
Tom waits Simply one of the best
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Well the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming
Dreaming of you
These are the greatest words ever written defining humanity.
U make me feel like it’s okay to be an original 🙏🏼
Well hell doesn't want you
And heaven is full
Bring me some water
Put it in this skull...
One of the greatest videos to grace RUclips
"Happy New Year" after 2016 the best song to start 2017.
more and more appropriate with each new year. :-(
Happy new year xd
great visuals ... good job ... i personally never play this track without the segue into dirt in the ground ... theyre too closely connected to split apart for me
Even though I've heard this song a million times, the police sirens outside my house totally added to it. :)
What did you DO
The earth is dying and I'm screaming. It is what it is.....
Исполнитель: Том Уэйтс

Great movie-Good tune!"!
Just amazing.
You are wrong. I myself did this video from the movie "The Earth Dies Screaming" (1965)
Well done.
I believe that this song could have many applications. For example, perfect New Year's Eve song for someone who has satisfied the requirements for joy and resolution by 7:03, and then goes to bed before midnight as an actual form of celebration because the dreams could be phenomenal. Happy New Year 2019. Let's all be smiling tomorrow. (This is experimental. I will let you know how it compares.) Or, it could be a love song; dreaming of you.
I love this.
Brilliant! Thank you.
Amazing.
I know that movie! It's "Village of the Damned" I saw it when I was little, and still remember it to this day.

MC LOL They must've reused footage from TEDS to make VotD. The same plane made the same crash in both movies.
+Robert Nugent (DFH)
I have this movie.
MC Had never heard of "The Earth Dies Screaming", but I'm familiar with "Village of the Damned" and I guess they reused footage from one to make the other. A lot of those people just lying around get up in "Village".
+Robert Nugent (DFH) Hi sir , iam sorry, how old are you , iam 33
Alan Watts All the watts are brilliant
Oi Oi who's watts
Mike Watt is probably the best bass player that the world has ever seen.
Brilliant.
love it.
Thank you!
Very Powerful Music
Pure genius...
Tom Waits is da fucking man!
Similar "Clap Hands" balance😍
Chilling.
the ending of this song is bone chilling
Reminds me so much of Beefheart
way, way ahead of his time.....
honestly, YES!!!! completely agree with your assessment, dude...
Prince Rainier as the train engineer...How cool!
@MegaKafil I've been here 18 years, found him 2 years ago. I'm lucky that he released something after i started listening to him. If I'm really lucky, I'll get to see him in concert
this is such a great, dark song... video from the old movie, too!
this is one of my favorite songs by Tom , good job on the video
Gospel or bass line...all I know keeps my heart thumpin'...

Ok, now I have to watch that film...
Man Man
it's all over when you see a land rover I say hasta luega down on avenue
When this album came out, everybody was saying..."You heard the new Waits?" And then "In The Coliseum" rammed it home.
Love this.
Land Rover. Cool.
Very bitchen! I live 29 minutes from this man and I hope he hears my stereo at night!
My first Tom Waits memory was seeing him on Fernwood 2night, and he tells Martin Mull, "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
I’m sure this has already been mentioned,
But I’m kinda surprised that Range Rover hasn’t optioned this for an advert.
Awesome video. It's kinda like that thing that "The Happening" tried to do, only it doesn't suck.
The sounds remind me of Cosmo Sheldrake. Guess this is where Cosmo took his inspiration from :P Like it.
I love you

Covid-19 brought me here.
The apocalypse isn't so bad.😊
Let's enjoy our time left.😊
don't worry we ain't going anywhere here to stay
the earth dies coughing
I agree
Song of 2020
Classic
most musicians music get more " normal" when they get sober but not tom waits, great musician
I like his work since Swordfishtrombones so much that it became kinda hard for me to fully enjoy some of his early stuff...
@@urivan9613 i can see that, but i love blue valentine, it was my drinking music when i was living in a tent
That old Land Rover Series I, tho! #drool
