Cover art for The Ocean Doesn't Want Me lyrics by Tom Waits

About 2 years before Bone Machine was released, a woman stood on a stormy beach on Plum Island drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette. She told a bystander that the ocean didn’t want her today.\n\nShe went back to her car for a while, but then re-emerged and walked straight into the waves, beer and cigarette in hand. Her body was found washed up later that day.
