Lyrics

[00:17.89] The big man arrives
[00:21.45] Disco dancers greet him
[00:25.39] Plainclothes cops greet him
[00:29.58] Small town, big man, fresh lipstick glistening
[00:38.01] Sophomore jive
[00:42.45] From victims of typewriters
[00:45.32] The band sounds like typewriters
[00:55.14] The big man he's not listening
[00:58.07] His eyes hold edith
[01:06.07] His left hand holds his right
[01:09.21] What does that hand desire
[01:11.76] That he grips it so tight
[01:22.64] Edith in the ring
[01:25.76] The passed-over girls are conferring
[01:31.39] The man with the diamond ring is purring
[01:35.57] All claws for now withdrawn
[01:43.01] One by one they bring
[01:46.82] His renegade stories to her
[01:50.88] His crimes and his glories to her
[01:56.45] In challenge they look on
[02:03.58] Women he has wanted grow old too soon
[02:10.51] He tilts their tired faces
[02:17.45] Gently to the spoon
[02:24.45] Edith in his bed
[02:27.63] A plane in the rain is humming
[02:32.95] The wires in the walls are humming
[02:38.01] Some song-some mysterious song
[02:45.88] Bars in her head
[02:50.13] Beating frantic and snowblind
[02:52.95] Romantic and snowblind
[02:57.07] She says-his crime belongs
[03:05.82] Edith and the kingpin
[03:09.13] Each with charm to sway
[03:12.38] Are staring eye to eye
[03:20.14] They dare not look away
[03:23.57] You know they dare not look away
