Jerusalem
It was the fault of the government I was walking down the street
What's he building in there? Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan
What's he _building_ in there? What the hell is he _building_ in there? He has subscriptions to those magazines. Never waves when he goes by. He's _hiding_ something from the rest of us. He's all to himself. I think I know why. He took down the tire swing from the pepper tree. He has no children of his own, you see.
He has no dog.
And he has no friends and his lawn is dying. And what about those packages he sends? What's he _building_ in there? With that hook light on the stairs. What's he _building_ in there? I'll tell you one thing. He's not building a playhouse for the children. What's he _building_ in there?
Now what's that sound from under the front door? He's pounding nails into a hardwood floor. And I swear to God I heard someone _moaning low_. And I keep seeing the blue light of a T.V.show. He has a _router_. And a _table saw_. And you won't believe what Mr. Stitcher saw. There's poison underneath the sink, of course. There's also enough formaldehyde to choke a horse. What'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, Tennessee. And he used to have a consulting business in _Indonesia_. What's he _building_ in there?
He has no friends. But he gets a lot of mail. I'll bet he spent a little time in jail. I heard he was up on the roof last night, signalling with a flashlight. And what'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.
