No, Sin City reminded me of a Tom Waits landscape, maybe from this song. Loved this spoken bit since I heard it when the record came out. He always has one spoken word piece on each album, and they are often highlights, even on the sober Tom records (what's he building in there?). I remember the first I heard was on Letterman when I was in high school...... never could stand that dog.
Makes me think of Miller... not related but still.. "She haunted me like a danger signal glimpsed through a train window at night, when one wonders if the engineer is awake or asleep"... Tropic of Capricorn. Read it... :3

So this is where Heath Ledger got The Joker voice from.

It haunted me, like a danger signal glimpsed through a train window at night, when one suddenly wonders if the engineer is awake or asleep.

Excellent video! I've been a fan of this spoken word piece since it came out some 25 years ago!

Only 2988 views...? What gives. My favourite song all categories. And this video? Amazing interpretation. I love it. Don't want to write a novel.

I love this piece, the video suits it really well too! really adds to the sense of noir that the piece already has around it!
