Could you credit the song as a Tom Waits cover of Skip Spence in the info section? Think it'll provide its dues and a bit of context. Cheers for making this available.
reply to : tom waits is what happens when a genius gets in a mans blood and turns into sound-this track is like waking from a nightmare to find a hot breakfast and a ice cold beer presented by a stripper with no memory or motive while in the middle of a earthquake- MY EARS NEED NOT LOOK NO FUTHER FOR REDEMPTION!
Books of Moses, bringing stone news Wet in the water, weeping in the sun Books of Moses, got some splinters didn't you Books of Moses, brought me right here back to you Flaming heart, ain't it sweet Lighting the world at your feet Books of Moses, myth and truth Books of Moses, bring me back to you Hero's welcome, there stands your king Where the serpent shudders and the angels sing Books of Moses, happening again Yes he knows us Well welcome him, your friend

This song is so great, because it seems to just drip with dread...I can see this playing in a movie before something horrible and bloody is about to happen. We know it's going to be gruesome, but because of Tom Waits, we know we're going to love it.

This man's voice is the most absurd form of epic I've heard. He sounds like he should be doing voiceovers for Power Wheels or Tonka commercials.

"Books of Moses--bringing stone news." Yeah. Waits is so damn good with this down home American stuff. Like a cobra in the night.
