Craig Finn - Balcony lyrics

There was a party at that high-rise up on Harmon It was dead except a couple people dancing While our eyes were still adjusting to the dark her appetite was expanding The dude with the long fingernails I don't think that I trust him all that much It cost ten dollars just to get inside the building It costs more to get in touch I 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 me Don't want to be your old man I want to be your new man another time all over I miss the way your eyes they used to spark when you'd look over your shoulder The dude with the long fingernails I think he's gonna take such good care of you I've seen him shave up at the library I've seen him sleep behind the Caribou I took the bus back uptown because 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 it Such a drunk romantic genesis Now we've really made a mess of this I'll put your stuff out on the driveway You can get it when you walk back through the white light I'll leave a sandwich in your suitcase in case you're hungry when you come back from the high-rise I hope your dude don't break his nails when he tries to help you carry all your stuff It costs ten dollars for a taxi. It costs a whole lot more to fall in love I 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
