    "Come On Up To The House" by Tom Waits from the album 'Mule Variations'
    Lyrics
    Well the moon is broken
    And the sky is cracked
    Come on up to the house
    The only things that you can see
    Is all that you lack
    Come on up to the house
    All your cryin don't do no good
    Come on up to the house
    Come down off the cross
    We can use the wood
    Come on up to the house
    Come on up to the house
    Come on up to the house
    The world is not my home
    I'm just a passin thru
    Come on up to the house
    There's no light in the tunnel
    No irons in the fire
    Come on up to the house
    And your singin lead soprano
    In a junkman's choir
    You gotta come on up to the house
    Does life seem nasty, brutish and short
    Come on up to the house
    The seas are stormy
    And you can't find no port
    Come on up to the house
    (Chorus)
    There's nothin in the world
    That you can do
    You gotta come on up to the house
    And you been whipped by the forces
    That are inside you
    Come on up to the house
    Well you're high on top
    Of your mountain of woe
    Come on up to the house
    Well you know you should surrender
    But you can't let go
    You gotta come on up to the house

      Jesus was physically& mentally tortured. Come on up to the house is kinda metaphoric for fellowship. ' When all u can. I notice he uses more than a few biblical verses. Ex.Cold Water:" I sleep w the snakes& the bugs& I'm reading t Bible by 40 watt bulb". "Lord, I Been changed" "Bad as Me" all have sinned& fallen short of His glory. God ain't snooty,playing games t keep His blessings for His children& mankind.I just started getting into@ yr ago..a genius.

    Tom Waits really feels sympathetic for when you're a few too many drinks deep, or you're missing the love that you lost, or you're just not feeling up to all you could be. Things might be rough, and maybe they don't feel like they'll get better, but put on some Tom Waits and you'll at least feel like you're understood.

    "Поднимайся в дом"
    Так, луна расколота, и небо в трещинах.
    Поднимайся в дом.
    Всё, что видишь ты - недоступные тебе вещи.
    Поднимайся в дом.
    Все стенанья твои ни к чему не приводят путному.
    Поднимайся в дом.
    Слезь с креста, древесину мы в дело пустим.
    Ты должен подняться в дом.
    Поднимайся в дом,
    Поднимайся в дом.
    Этот мир не мой дом,
    Я просто прохожий в нём.
    Ты должен подняться в дом.
    Нет света в туннеле, и железо не горячо,
    Поднимайся в дом.
    А ты прима-сопрано в хоре старьёвщика,
    Ты должна подняться в дом.
    Жизнь кажется мерзкой, жестокой и короткой?
    Поднимайся в дом.
    В море шторм, и тебе не найти порт для лодки,
    Поднимайся в дом, да.
    Ты должен подняться в дом,
    Поднимайся в дом.
    Этот мир не мой дом,
    Я просто прохожий в нём.
    Ты должен подняться в дом, да
    Ты должен подняться в дом,
    Поднимайся в дом.
    Этот мир не мой дом,
    Я просто прохожий в нём.
    Ты должен подняться в дом.
    В мире нет таких дел, что тебе по плечу.
    Ты должен подняться в дом.
    И ты полон страстей, что тебя же бичуют.
    Должен подняться в дом.
    Так, ты на самой вершине горы своих бед.
    Должен подняться в дом.
    Так, ты знаешь, что должен сдаться,
    но не смириться тебе.
    Ты должен подняться в дом, да.
    Должен подняться в дом,
    Должен подняться в дом.
    Этот мир не мой дом,
    Я просто прохожий в нём.
    Ты должен подняться к нам в дом,
    Должен подняться в дом,
    Ты должен подняться в дом, о да.
    1) Отсылка к церковному гимну «Мир - не мой дом», отражающего христианскую веру в посмертную вечную жизнь в раю для бедных и угнетённых праведников.
    2) Строки из гимна «Мир - не мой дом», за которыми следует: «мои сокровища спрятаны где-то за голубизной, ангелы манят меня из открытой двери Небес, и я больше не могу чувствовать себя как дома в этом мире».

    The understanding that humanity's efforts are futile and that art, in general, is silly anyway is the unifying factor of all expression on Earth that levels and adds as the litmus test to all art. The 'film grain' makes the picture look better in all cinema before digital.
