Balcony Lyrics by Craig Finn

Clear Heart Full Eyes

2012

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 wanna 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

Took the bus back uptown 'cause 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

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
It was the same thing that you did with me
