Balcony Lyrics - Clear Heart Full Eyes - Craig Finn

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 want to 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 

I took the bus back uptown because 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 

I 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
