Is today's song actually a song? Is it a story? A prose poem? With Tom Waits it's hard to say, but one thing's for sure, this track is creepy. It comes from his 1999 album Mule Variations and is stamped with Waits' signature whiskey-soaked gravel voice and atmospheric recording touches that conjure up an eerie seediness like none other. Waits is known for depicting grotesque places and people in his work and this song is no exception. I mean, what exactly is that guy building in there? We have a right to know!
