Thin Man Lyrics by Suzanne Vega

Nine Objects of Desire

0

[Verse 1]
He is not my friend, but he is with me
Like a shadow is with a foot that falls
His hand is on my back when I step from the sidewalk
Or when I'm walking down these darkened halls

[Chorus]
He's the thin man
With a date for me
To arrive at some point
I don't know when it will be, oh

[Verse 2]
I can feel his eyes when I don't expect him
In the back seat of a taxi down Vestry Street
His arm is around my waist and he pulls me to him
And he whispers things into my ear that sound so sweet

[Chorus]
He's the thin man
With a date for me
To arrive at some point
I don't know when it will be, oh

[Verse 3]
He is not my friend, but he is with me
And he promises a peace I never knew
But I cannot give in, no, I must refuse him
Could I really be the one to resist that kiss so true?

[Chorus]
He's the thin man
With a date for me
To arrive at some point
I don't know when it will be, oh
