"Smoke is blacking out the sun. At night I pray and clean my gun" (Waits)

"... Well we stick our fingers in The ground, heave and Turn the world around Smoke is blacking out the sun At night I pray and clean my gun The cracked bell rings as The ghost bird sings and the gods Go begging here So just open fire As you hit the shore All is fair in love And war ..." From the song "Hoist that Rag" by Tom Waits featured on "Real Gone" album.
