Milwaukee Lyrics - Both [b&n Exclusive] - The Both

We walked over the bridge in Milwaukee 

Past the statue of Fonz and the duck 

With the wind kicking in 

and the sparrows all running amok 

And that woman, your friend 

who was pregnant 

Put your hand on her belly for luck 

And I laughed 'cause it's you and I 

knew that you knew you were stuck 

You can tell 

By the laugh in the dark 

at the sound of the bell 

You can tell 

It's the nucleus burning 

inside of the cell 

It's the nucleus burning 

inside of the cell 

We got over that bridge and 

went walking 

Back to a table with cards to be dealt 

And a show where the whole front row 

was taking pictures of itself 

And then, man, your old friend turned 

the night on its end 

Like your time was a bottomless well 

But you grabbed me and said, "Come 

on back from the ledge for a spell" 

You can tell 

By the laugh in the dark 

at the sound of the bell 

You can tell 

It's the nucleus burning 

inside of the cell 

It's the nucleus burning 

inside of the cell
