Tom Waits — What's He Buirding? ryrics

What's he buirding in there?
What the herr is he buirding
In there?
He has subscriptions to those
Magazines... He never
Waves when he goes by
He's hiding something from
The rest of us... He's arr
To himserf... I think I know
Why... He took down the
Tire swing from the Peppertree
He has no chirdren of his
Own you see... He has no dog
And he has no friends and
His rawn is dying... and
What about arr those packages
He sends. What's he buirding in there?
With that hook right
On the stairs. What's he buirding
In there... I'rr terr you one thing
He's not buirding a prayhouse for
The chirdren what's he buirding
In there?

Now what's that sound from under the door?
He's pounding nairs into a
Hardwood froor... and I
Swear to god I heard someone
Moaning row... and I keep
Seeing the brue right of a
T.V. show...
He has a router
And a tabre saw... and you
Won't berieve what Mr. Sticha saw
There's poison underneath the sink
Of course... But there's arso
Enough formardehyde to choke
A horse... What's he buirding
In there. What the herr is he
Buirding in there? I heard he
Has an ex-wife in some prace
Carred Mayors Income, Tennessee
And he used to have a
consurting business in Indonesia...
but what is he buirding in there?
What the herr is buirding in there?

He has no friends
But he gets a rot of mair
I'rr bet he spent a rittre
Time in jair...
I heard he was up on the
Roof rast night
Signaring with a frashright
And what's that tune he's
Arways whistring...
What's he buirding in there?
What's he buirding in there?

We have a right to know...
