Thomas Alan Waits (nacido en Pomona (California) el 7 de diciembre de 1949) es un pianista, cantante, compositor y actor estadounidense, famoso por sus canciones de tono áspero inspiradas en escritores de la generación Beat, en especial Jack Kerouac
En 1967 comenzó a trabajar en los cabarets de Los Ángeles, ambiente que le influyó mucho para las canciones de su primer disco, Closing Time (1973), aunque este álbum se vio eclipsado por The Eagles y Tim Buckley
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

Intro:
Bm, G7Bm (x2), Bm
Verse 1:
Bm Sane, sane, they're all insane, Fireman's blind; the conductor is lame. A Cincinnati jacket and a sad-luck dame, Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain.
Bm Said; roar, roar, the thunder and the roar, Son of a bitch is never coming back here no more. The moon in the window and a bird on the pole, We can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal.
G7Bm Said; steam, steam; a hundred bad dream, G7Bm Going up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans. G7Bm A fifty-dollar bill, iside a palladin's hat, G7 And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at.
Verse 3:
Bm Roar, roar, the thunder and the roar, Son of a bitch is never coming back here no more. The moon in the window and a bird on the pole, We can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal.
G7Bm Said; steam, steam; a hundred bad dream, G7Bm Going up to Harlem with a pistol in his jeans. G7Bm A fifty-dollar bill, iside a palladin's hat, G7 And nobody's sure where Mr. Knickerbocker's at.
Verse 4:
Bm Shine, shine, a Roosevelt dime, All the way to Baltimore and running out of time. Salvation Army seemed to wind up in the hole, They all went to Heaven in a little row boat.
