Tom Waits – Franks Wild Years: You’re a lonely, heartbroken truck driver going down a dark highway to drop off a load at an amusement park, but the park is abandoned with all the lights on and the rides operating. So you go wild, dragging your heels across the cracked pavement, looking up at the stars and growing ever dizzier watching them wheel through their orbits. And the narrative of this album plays like a movie in his mind.
