Tom Waits: What's he building - Tekst piosenki

What's he building in there?What the hell is he building in there?He has subscriptions to those magazinesNever waves when he goes byHe's hiding something from the rest of usHe's all To himself, I think I know whyHe took down the tire swing from the PeppertreeHe has no children of his own you seeHe has no dog, he has no friends andHis lawn is dyingWhat about all those packages he sendsWhat's he building in there?With that hook light on the stairsWhat's he building in there?I'll tell you one thingHe's not building a playhouse for the childrenWhat's he building in there?Now what's that sound from underneath the door?He's pounding nails into a hardwood floorI swear to God I heard someone moaning lowAnd I keep seeing the blue light of a T.V. showHe has a router and a table sawAnd you won't believe what Mr. Sticha sawThere's poison underneath the sink of courseThere's also enough formaldehyde to choke a horseWhat's he building in there?What the hell is he building in there?I heard he has an ex-wife in some place called Mayors Income, TennesseeAnd he used to have a consulting business in IndonesiaBut what's he building in there?He has no friends but he gets a lot of mailI'll bet he spent a little time in jailI heard he was up on the roof last night signaling with a flashlightWhat's that tune he's always whistling?What's he building in there?What's he building in there?We have a right to know...
