Edith And The Kingpin |
The big man arrives |
Disco dancers greet him |
Plainclothes cops greet him |
Small town, big man, fresh lipstick glistening |
Sophomore jive |
From victims of typewriters |
The band sounds like typewriters |
The big man he’s not listening |
His eyes hold edith |
His left hand holds his right |
What does that hand desire |
That he grips it so tight |
Edith in the ring |
The passed-over girls are conferring |
The man with the diamond ring is purring |
All claws for now withdrawn |
One by one they bring |
His renegade stories to her |
His crimes and his glories to her |
In challenge they look on Women he has wanted grow old too soon |
He tilts their tired faces |
Gently to the spoon |
Edith in his bed |
A plane in the rain is humming |
The wires in the walls are humming |
Some song-some mysterious song |
Bars in her head |
Beating frantic and snowblind |
Romantic and snowblind |
She says-his crime belongs |
Edith and the kingpin |
Each with charm to sway |
Are staring eye to eye |
They dare not look away |
You know they dare not look away |
