Joni Mitchell - Edith & The Kingpin Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 hes 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  • All claws for now withdrawn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
