There was a party at that high rise up on Horn
And it was dead, except a couple of people dancing
While her eyes were still adjusting to the dark
Her appetite was expandingThe dude with the long fingernails,
I don't think that I trust him all that much
It costs 10 dollars just to get inside the building
It costs more to get in touchI went to the SA to get some cigs
I asked the doorman to remember me
I looked up to see the moon, and I saw you and him out on the balcony
It was the same thing that you did to meI wanna be an old man, wanna be a new man another time all over
I miss the way your eyes, they used to spark when you'd
look over your shoulderThe dude with the long fingernails
I think he's going to take such good care of you
I've seen him shave up at the library,
I've seen him sleep behind the caribouTook the bus back uptown 'cause I knew that it was over
I didn't need to know the rest of it
I know the look, I know the lines, I know the laugh
From back when we first started itSuch a drunk romantic genesis
Now we've really made a mess of thisBut you step out on the driveway,
You can get it when you walk back through the white night
I'll leave a sandwich in your suitcase
In case you're hungry when you come back from the highrise
I hope your dude don't break his nails
When he tries to help you carry all your stuffIt costs 10 dollars for a taxi
It costs a whole lot more to fall in loveI went to the SA to get some cigs, I asked the bagman to remember me
I looked up to see the moon, and I saw you and him out on the balcony
It was the same thing that you did with me
It was the same thing that you did with me
