    Pitchfork: Was there a song where it wasn't immediately evident to you which disc it would fit best on?

    Tom Waits: Yeah. But, you know, ballads went on one-- we wanted to call it "Shut Up and Eat your Ballads".

    :D

    can't wait to check out lettermen tonight, I can't stop playing orphans.
    Take time to see the sky,
    Find shapes in the clouds.
    Hear the murmur of the wind
    and touch the cool water.
    Walk softly,
    we are intruders,
    tolerated briefly
    In an infinite universe.
