[Vidéo] Tom Waits "What's he building ?"

Comme quoi, un vidéo clip peut aussi être une oeuvre d'art, un vrai film, un bijou à conserver pour le voir et le revoir.

What's he building ? extrait de Mule variations (1999)

Si vous avez de la peine à tout capter, voici les paroles :

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 Peppertree
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 all 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 door?
He's pounding nails into a hardwood floor...
and I wwear 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. Sticha saw
There's poison underneath the sink
Of course...

But 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...
but what is he building in there?
What the hell is 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
Signaling 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...
