I'd add this to my previous comment, but I can't edit, so:
I don't know exactly what this song's about, but it creates some very vivid images... I always thought of it as being about a serial killer (represented by Lanegan's vocals) breaking into the house of a deaf man (the narrator). That doesn't really match up with the lyrics, now that I think of it, but that's just what I picked up from it.
