He is not my friend, but he is with me
|
Like a shadow is with a foot that falls
|
His hand is on my back when I step from the sidewalk
|
Or when I'm walking down these darkened halls
|
|
He's the Thin Man
|
With a date for me
|
To arrive at some point
|
I don't know when it will be
|
|
I can feel his eyes when I don't expect him
|
In the back seat of a taxi down Vestry Street
|
His arm is around my waist and he pulls me down to him
|
He whispers things into my ear that sound so sweet
|
|
He's the Thin Man
|
With a date for me
|
To arrive at some point
|
I don't know when it will be
|
|
He is not my friend, but he is with me
|
And he promises a peace I never knew
|
I cannot give in, no, I must refuse him
|
But could I really be the one to resist that kiss so true
|
|
He's the Thin Man
|
With a date for me
|
To arrive at some point
|
I don't know when it will be
|
