This was, still is, and always we’ll be pure art. Waits is able to create a sweet bitter sad atmosphere due to his voice that is unmatched

I can't agree more. Waits' artistry is singular. He's in another league entirely.

This is the superior version simply due to his decision to repeat "One for every year he's away she says" and then laugh. Goes perfectly with that haunting music.

Although the mood of this song is very creepy and I don't like listening to it in the dark (Mainly for the line "I crawl into the stairwell and sleep in your hat"),It has grown on me and I think that it is one of Tom Waits most underrated songs.

These days the intersection of 9th Street and Hennepin Avenue is bougie AF, but back when this song was written it was urban rot personified. Porn shops, pawn shops, gun stores, and worst of all a bar called the Bucket of Blood. It was a biker bar, incredibly dangerous -- there were multiple years where over half of all homicides in Minneapolis occurred within a half mile radius of the front door of that place. I was scared just to walk by it across the street in broad daylight when the bar wasn't even open.

@TheSidewalkCipher 9th and Hennepin is a real intersection in Minneapolis. I visited Minneapolis in the mid 1990s, and out of curiosity decided to check out the area. It was largely cleaned up by then. Later on, I was told by a friend who's a Minnesota native that it used to be the red light district.

A mediocre entertainer can only achieve greatness if he/she is able to become a caricature of themself. Best singer ever for being able to simulate a cat heaving up a hairball. Nye's bar rocks!
