Cover art for Bronx Lullabye/Smugglers Waltz lyrics by Tom Waits

The protaganist is merely drug addled looking for a fix. Between schoolboy (coke) and snow (heroin) ... there is not much ambiguity. I do not think this is about a son. Daddy and his lost little angel are all metaphors for an adult relationship that has nowhere to go.
