The ocean doesn’t want me today
But I’ll be back tomorrow to play
And the strangles will take me
Down deep in their brine
The mischievous braingels
Down into the endless blue wine
I’ll open my head and let out
All of my time.
I’d love to go drowning
And to stay and stay
But the ocean doesn’t want me today
I’ll go in up to here
It can’t possibly hurt
All they will find is my beer
And my shirt
A rip tide is raging
And the life guards away
But the ocean doesn’t want me today
The ocean doesn’t want me today

~Tom Waits

tom waits is one of my favoritest artists..his music is incredible and along with his music and gravel voice it makes his music a experience every time. if you want to hear sectacular, different music, check this music out!

Tom Waits is one of the more interesting songwriters out there. I really like his "Small Change" cd with "Tom Traubert's Blues" (one of the saddest songs ever) and "Step Right Up" and "The Piano Has Been Drinking (not me)" (two of the funniest songs ever).
