This is a video inspired by the Tom Waits track “Children’s Story” on his “Orphans” CD. The soundtrack is from the CD, and the artwork and editing was done by me.
hey who wrote this … hey who wrote this when he wanted to go back down to earth the earth was a over turned pot ,makes you want to shot you self in the head with a gun or better yet hit youself in the head with a pot

Having said that, I disagree, and were I to do the whole thing over I’d still leave out the chuckle.
Thank you, however, for taking the time and effort to explain your position to me.
