Thin Man

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

He's the thin man

With a date for me

To arrive at some point

I don't know when it will be

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 down to him

He whispers things into my ear that sound so sweet

He's the thin man

With a date for me

To arrive at some point

I don't know when it will be

He is not my friend, but he is with me

And he promises a peace I never knew

I cannot give in, no, I must refuse him

But could I really be the one to resist that kiss so true

He's the thin man

With a date for me

To arrive at some point

I don't know when it will be
