  5. I love this song! It’s so weird! I heard it in the credits of “Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room,” and I fell in love with it! It reminds me of those old cartoon Halloween specials Disney used to have, way back in the old days. Ah, those were nice :)

  9. I take it to mean something like this:

    Put your money in the coinslot of the prayphone (collection plate), and say what is on your mind (pray). God can’t talk right now,as he is away on business, but I’ll let Him know you called.

  11. Funny you should say that, since that was what got me hooked into my current Waits addiction.

  12. I heard this guys name thrown around on some music sites I was a member of but had no idea who he was. I look him up and remember seeing his performance on the Letterman Show but I didn’t end up hearing his name. But now I know who he is and my god is he awesome

  13. I think he is referring to a slot machine. Gambling is considered a vice. If god is away on business its okay :)

  19. I love this song! This part puzzles me: “I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby, Let her ring, let her ring “. What is he referring to?

  24. Oh and you better believe he totally was. He was in the fifth row when I saw it, and I swear to(I dont think god is appropriate) well I swear I saw him tearing up. True story.

  25. I don’t think (forgive me if they have) they’ll ever give out one for any portrayal of the devil, its not “PC”. The only way I think it would happen is if the devil himself came out of hell and told every one he was even impressed.
