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All claws for now withdrawn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