Such a Scream Songtext
von Tom Waits

One, two, three, four

Well, pale face said to the eyeball kid
She just goes clank and boom and steam
A halo, wings, horns, and a tail
Shovelling coal inside my dreams
There are no laws, she′s made of cream
She's such a scream


Qui bon tres bien, nails in cement
A donnie gal from mortal clay
The plow is red, the well is full
Inside the dollhouse of her skull
A cheetah coat fills up with steam
She′s such a scream

All crooked lines, her fireplace
A milktrain so clean, machine gun haste
You'll ride the only wall of shame
And drag that chain across the state
Her lips are red, she is the queen
She's such a scream
