Tom Waits - Story Lyrics
Once upon a time there was a poor child
With no father and no mother
And everything was dead
And no one was left in the whole world
Everything was dead
And the child went on search day and night
And since nobody was left on the earth
He wanted to go up into the heavens
And the moon was looking at him so friendly
And when he finally got to the moon
The moon was a piece of rotten wood
And then he went to the sun
And when he got there
The sun was a wilted sunflower
They were little golden flies
Stuck up there like the shrike
Sticks 'em on a blackthorn
And when he wanted to go back down to earth
The earth was an overturned piss pot
And he was all alone
He sat down and he cried
And he is there till this day
All alone
Okay there's your story
Night night

Tom Waits Story Comments
doohee go boda de da ... didnt shakespear write that?
WHATS THE JOKE???
Masterpiece !
Subtitles: "Ladies horn Obama charity looks a little horny and Iron Man, I'm never going to play the saxophone again"
damn...... that storytelling skill level is over 9000
Notice how the sax song is subtitled. Made my day.
Hi-Fi stereo record player. First thing you see on this quality video lol. All hail Tom Waits.
"and then he looks back toward the bed and realizes he forgot his saxophone"
would be an incredible alternate ending.
Geen. Yous.
Dear fellow Waitsians....Please could you cast an eye over the new video by LILA J,
A LETTER TO MR TOM WAITS.It is our wish that he gets to hear it, somehow.....someday.......somewhere.

Oh my God, TREBLE.
anyone else notice the coffee and cigarette were used totaly as props and never actually used?
My friend Kris is alot like that. and he is the most die hard Waits fan ever so it makes sense
oh my God--i was hoping it would be worth the wait for that punchline -it was- i laughed my ass off!
somewhere over the rainbow @biumbambaloo
what's the title of the song ?
The tune on the jukebox is "Small Change (Got Rained on with His Own .38)"
The song in the story is Somewhere over the rainbow
Did you get the joke though?
Yea, Ambulances are fucking annoying in Rome
Un hombre extremadamente interesante y sexy.
AND HE CANT REMEMBER THE BRIDGE.......!
"Just Another Dime Store Novel" is my favorite rant of his
F U C K
christ thats depressing....
Jesus Christ is King
No I dont think so - he is SO charismatic. Takes bit to get into him but when you do - you are sucked in.
kathmandoo I was addicted the fist time I heard him speak!
Sounds like he's in the next room. But you can figure out the joke from the musical clues. I think the other guy is Rupert Pupkin.
Oh look, tom is smoking his finger. LMAO, gotta love him!
i think Tom Waits its like an actor 100% of the time, he is playing himself.
turn your bass off and the treble all the way up, you can hear it then
cant hear the dialog :(
punch line caught right on the jaw knocked me out cool..
Now that was a great punchline.
I wish I could buy this on DVD man, where did you source this?
Keep up
