Tom Waits – What's He Building in There? Lyrics 16 years ago
In my opinion the song is about a private man, possibly a bit odd to some of his neighbours, but generally just a bit shy. He's being constantly watched and talked about by people who run away with their imaginations and talk too much- curtain twitchers.

I also think it's about Tom Waits, himself. People want to know every little detail about him. He's a very private person and his level of success, and cult following draws a lot of attention.

Tom Waits – A Little Rain (For Clyde) Lyrics 16 years ago
It could be from the point of view of a father tracing his daughter's steps. Lost, wandering around this strange town where his daughter was last spotted. Angry and alone.
