Description
Tom WaitsAlbum: Alice
Everything you can think of is true
Before the ocean was blue
We were lost in a flood
Run red with your blood
Nigerian skeleton crew
Everything you can think of is true
The dish ran away with the spoon
Dig deep in your heart for that little red glow
We’re decomposing as we go
Everything you can think of is true
And fishes make wishes on you
We’re fighting our way up dreamland’s spine
Red flamingos and expensive wine
Everything you can think of is true
The baby’s asleep in your shoe
Your teeth are buildings with yellow doors
Your eyes are fish on a creamy shore

Definitely one of the most intriguing interpretations of his music that I've seen thus far. I'm so fascinated by this.
Its the eyes. Possibly. I'm not entirely sure...

[tom waits] sings lulliby's for adults.... only after our hearts are broken and we feed the deers of our dreams leaves... that's when the romance of alcohol makes sense...... *drunk*

geez, this is wonderful! been reading my dreams again? aliens, night after night... hide the bodies... i love the tangled mass leading to the exposed spine, the alien eyes, the genius that made you place the leaf there... i had a spinal tap once... this is like an accident that horrifies but you can't look away from...

this is the result of a dream i had about a girl i used to know, and in the dream she had deer eyes, and so i proceeded to feed her leaves from the house plant on the table.... i used to be in love with this girl, because she didn't care care about me... an anti-sexual fell in love with a misanthrope....
the song was a result of hearing it as i sped late to work when i woke up....

it's very painful to have one's spine exposed. sometimes nature takes away the pain....but only briefly.
i really like the way you've drawn her. i especially like her hair. i did a sketch last year of an ancient egyptian carving that was on the cover of national geographic. i spent the most time on her hair. i wonder how long it took you to do her hair. it looks perfect.
