this song is one of the few from his new records that still has the jazz feel he had in his early years, the chorus reminds me of something as far back the heart of saturday night album
Enter the captain's cabin. Soft music comes from a crooked, stained door. Opening it reveals the old captain, Tom Waits, behind his... whatever instrument we hear here.
Good ol' Tom again.

Imagine the scene.
Old ship. Men on deck.
Enter the captain's cabin. Soft music comes from a crooked, stained door. Opening it reveals the old captain, Tom Waits, behind his... whatever instrument we hear here.
He looks up, yet continues singing.
The music ends.
Cue the credits.

I heard some time ago that Tom quit drinking. I wonder if he's still on the wagon.
