when you open the ice box, you will find a bone splinter from a long bone, a cup of coffee that is somehow still hot, and he reaches in from the other side to grab a pack of smokes (with extra gravel) from the ice box's door

it takes tom waits 20 minutes to navigate the ever-shifting non-euclidean funhouse mirror maze that distorts your image so you look like a demon covered in dust to get the bathroom by shouting "MARCO" into a heavily distorted megaphone. the bathroom answers back "polo"

when tom waits exists the recording booth or finishes a tour, he always looks forward to coming home to the state fair where he can operate the haunted mansion ride.

he has a complicated series of plumbing that leads from a chair with a dunce cap sitting on it out to the drainage canal outside. he dons the hat and sits in the chair, facing the corner. "misery is the river of the world." he cries into the phonograph horn he welded onto the pipe. he shakes the dirt off his duster and pulls his diary from its breast pocket.

he leaves the home and people immediately start laughing at him, saying he's wearing a fedora. "actually, it's not a fedora, it's a hat" he says, a blizzard of glitter flowing from it as he removes it and bows deeply, sarcastically

When you visit, don't drink a beer right away. Let the beers drink themselves and then the scotch, and then drink the beers

tom waits exclusively cooks his food with one of three things: the overheated engine of a '55 pickup truck painted oxblood red, a giant open flame he claims is from hell itself but is actually a tire fire, or a flamethrower. he only eats beef.

you'd think his driveway car-building/restoration project would be a hearse, or a caddy, but you'd be wrong. it'd be a decommissioned yellow checker taxi from nyc from 50 years ago

The wurlitzer jukebox in the corner is free, but it only has Iggy Pop songs in it. The bubbling liquid in its glowing tubes is Negroni. It cries Negroni tears if the first song you try to play is raw power

this thread isn't entirely about his own home per sé, but also homes away from home. every overnight diner in a 30mi radius modified their straw dispensers to have cigarettes, coffee costs a nickel, and you can always get a ride from a noble ghost trucker. his concerts don't sell beer but they do have cigarette vending machines.

When Tom went down to the crossroads and made his deal with the devil, there was a clerical error and now he has to pick up shifts for old scratch on Tuesday and Thursday

lol and probably true?

Although Tom Waits appeared to genuinely enjoy hanging out with you at your house, he only came over to find out the truth. "What's he building in there?" Tom Waits anxiously thought to himself, while you were busy having your eyes glued to whatever was on television at the time.

Oh crap oh crap... it's that nosy singer from next door. Where do I hide all this formaldehyde that got misdelivered to my home address?

tom waits put on trial for murdering the moon, causing it to crash in Kentucky. He made the Right friends in jail and was let out early on one condition: he find and "take care of" Saturday night and bring back its heart as proof.

he sleeps in a room with a huge, rusted boiler and clanky old rusted pipes. he keeps a notebook on his nightstand to write music ideas in. it's mostly "clank hssssss wommmmmwommmm growl about the world drowning to death in rusty water" and a giant ink blot with arrows pointing to it saying "PLAY THIS NOTE". the nightstand is made out of old single load muskets and a manhole cover

like all good recording artists, he has a sound studio in his home. he straps himself to a gurney leftover from when the insane asylum burnt down, closes the cell, and sings into a charred IV pole with a bent tin can duct taped on.
