Just so you guys know, this is based on an actual person named Edward Mordrake. He had a face on the back of his head that he wanted removed but no doctor would agree to the task. He claimed the face to be a demon and that it would whisper horrible things to him at night. He ended his own life at age 23. You can find more about him through a google search.

Thumbs up so more people can see this.

Great video. The song changed my life completely. I thought it was about the woman locked inside my head, hoping to be released one day. The day she was released, I was released. Turned out I was her all the time. Thank you, Tom Waits, for letting me be myself again

This song is about Edward Mordake. He supposedly had an extra face on the back of his head, which could neither eat nor speak, although it could laugh and cry. Edward begged doctors to have his "demon head" removed, because, supposedly, it whispered satanist language to him at night, but no doctor would attempt it. He committed suicide at the age of 23.

Such a beautiful song for such a sad tale.
