Song information
Artist: Tom Waits Album: Mule Variations
Lyrics
What's he building in there? What the hell is he building 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 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. he has no friends His lawn is dying What are all those packages he sends?
What's he building in there?
That hooklight 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?
And what's that sound from underneath the door? He's pounding nails into a hardwood floor I swear to god, I heard someone moaning, low And I keep seeing the blue light of a tv show He has a router. and a table saw And you won't believe what mr. stitches 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 someplace called mayor's income, tennessee And he used to have a consulting business in indonesia
But 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
