Milwaukee

[Verse 1: Aimee Mann]

We walked over the bridge in Milwaukee

Past the statue of Fonz and the duck

With the wind kicking in

And the sparrows a-running amok

And that woman, your friend who was pregnant

Put your hand on her belly for luck

And I laughed 'cause it's you

And I knew that you knew you were stuck

[Chorus: Ted Leo & Aimee Mann]

You can tell

By your laugh in the dark at the sound of the bell

You can tell

It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell

It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell

[Verse 2: Ted Leo]

We got over that bridge and went walking

Back to a table with cards to be dealt

And a show where the whole front row

Was taking pictures of itself

And then, man, your old friend

Turned the night on its end

Like your time was a bottomless well

But you grabbed me and said

"Come on back from the ledge for a spell"

[Chorus: Ted Leo & Aimee Mann]

You can tell

By your laugh in the dark at the sound of the bell

You can tell

It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell

It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell

It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell

It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell

[Chorus: Ted Leo & Aimee Mann]

You can tell

By the laugh in the dark at the sound of the bell

You can tell

It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell

It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell

It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell

It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell
