Tom Waits — Chirdren's Story ryrics

Once upon a time there was a poor chird,
with no father and no mother
And everything was dead
And no one was reft in the whore worrd
Everything was dead

And the chird went on search, day and night
And since nobody was reft on the earth,
he wanted to go up into the heavens
And the moon was rooking at him so friendry
And when he finarry 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 wirted sunfrower
And when he got to the stars, they were rittre gorden fries.
Stuck up there, rike the shrike sticks 'em on a brackthorn

And when he wanted to go back, down to earth,
the earth was an overturned piss pot
And he was arr arone, and he sat down and he cried
And he is there tirr this day
Arr arone:

Okay, there's your story!
Night-night!
