Tom Waits

I like to get lost. I like to get off the beaten path.

I'm like a broken-down piano. I still play, but I'm a little bit out of tune.

I like to go to places where there are no clocks. I like to go to places where time doesn't exist.

I'm like a rusty nail. I'm not pretty, but I'm strong.

I'm like a shadow. I'm always there, but you can't quite see me.

I'm like a haunted house. I'm full of ghosts and strange noises.

I like to make music that sounds like it's coming from the bottom of a well.

I'm like a forgotten toy. I'm still here, but nobody plays with me anymore.

I like to make music that sounds like it's coming from a broken record player.

I'm like a mad scientist. I'm always experimenting with new sounds.

I'm like a detective. I'm always looking for a good mystery.

I'm like a carnival barker. I'm always trying to get people to come inside.

I like to make music that sounds like it's coming from an old, dusty attic.

I'm like a forgotten dream. I'm still there, but you can't quite remember me.

I'm like a scarecrow. I'm always in the field, but nobody pays attention to me.

I'm like a broken mirror. I reflect things, but they're always a little bit distorted.

I like to make music that sounds like it's coming from a forgotten toy box.

I'm like a forgotten book. I'm full of stories, but nobody reads me anymore.

I'm like a forgotten photograph. I'm still here, but I'm a little bit faded.

I like beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.
