Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

That's the one. Search on Waits Covers.

Sweet! But I have it already. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't another I didn't know about. Like, say, this Tom Waits/Kronos Quartet version I read about earlier tonight.

Hey! What about all my help. With that one word.

Congrats! I will have to check that out! What issue will it be in?
