Lyrics
[Verse 1] His fingernails are broken His ships they're all on fire The moneylender's daughter Is eaten with desire She spies him through the glasses From the pawnshops of her father She hails him through a microphone That an artist had to leave her She tempts him with a clarinet She waves a Nazi dagger [Verse 2] She finds his private clip She wants to be his woman He says he'll go to sleep If she'll leave thе future open He stands whеre it is steep And he is not the first one His hands upon his belt Like it was the wheel of some ocean liner And she must wet her lips As all the sails burn down like paper And he has lit the chain Of his famous cigarillo [Verse 3] The moon finds out too true Like somebody's youngest daughter It climbs the night all alone And it carries no survivor And anyone can see Who has no tickets from her father And anyone can see Who never tied to be his brother And anyone can see Who's had to lie to keep a lover [Outro] That they're just two people They're just two people I don't know how to start They're getting miles and miles apart And it's happening right now in the dark Who do you lie close to? Does it feel like it's supposed to? They're just two people They're just two people They're just two people
