Tom Waits

A bloody, mysterious, creepy, dark, ugly song where Waits puts on his mask and turns into a grotesque beast. One of the best songs from the strangely wonderful album real gone.
..
At night I pray and clean my gun
the cracked bell rings as
the ghost bird sings and the gods
go begging here
so just open fire
as you hit the shore
all is fair in love
and war
Hoist that rag!

Spot On!
