Bone Machine


this 1992 alb-m was tom waits’ darkest release yet. full of dark “cyber drama” and vicious guitar strings, he had totally dropped his piano onto the city sidewalk. here we find goin’ out west, murder in the red barn, and the delicate suicide story, the ocean doesn’t want me. waits’ voice sounds stepped on and burned out, but the songs are more amazing than ever because of it.
an excerpt from bone machine’s-
black wings

well they’ve stopped trying to hold him
with mortar, stone and chain
he broke out of every prison
well the boots mount the staircase
the door is flung back open
he’s not there for he has risen
he’s not there for he has risen
well he once killed a man with a guitar string
he’s been seen at the table with kings
well, he once saved a baby from drowning
there are those who say beneath his coat there are wings
