Thomas Alan Waits(born December 7, 1949 in Pomona, California) is an American singer-songwriter, composer, and actor. He started his career in the early 70s as a singer in dirty bars. Initially, he was deeply influenced by the beat generation (poets like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs) He could not make a living from his music although he was well accepted by the critics. The people at that time didn't like his classical bar music, pre-rock and americanastyles reminiscent of musical genres of the 50s and 40s, such as blues, jazz, and vaudeville.

Frank’s Song Lyrics

Tom Waits

That woman will take you, that woman will break you
That woman will make you something youve never seen
That womans got claws, that womans got laws
Now look out man, youre gonna loose your mind
I had a friend, his name was frank
He walked on the water and lord he sank
We used to go stag, now hes got a hag
It looks like franks got a new bag
That woman will take you, that woman will break you
That woman will make you something youve never seen
That womans got claws, that womans got laws
Now look out frank, youre gonna loose your mind
What happened to frank, can happen to you
Just find you a woman and watch what shell do
That woman will take you, that womans gonna break you
Look out man youre gonna loose, youre gonna loose your mind
