Suzanne Vega - Thin Man

He is not my friend, but he is with me
His hand is on my back when I step from the sidewalk
Like a shadow is with a foot that falls
Or when I'm walking down these darkened halls
I don't know when it will be

He's the Thin Man
With a date for me
To arrive at some point

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

With a date for me
To arrive at some point
He's the Thin Man

He is not my friend, but he is with me
I don't know when it will be
And he promises a peace I never knew
I cannot give in, no, I must refuse him

With a date for me
But could I really be the one to resist that kiss so true
He's the Thin Man
I don't know when it will beTo arrive at some point
He is not my friend, but he is with me
His hand is on my back when I step from the sidewalk
Like a shadow is with a foot that falls
Or when I'm walking down these darkened halls
I don't know when it will be

He's the Thin Man
With a date for me
To arrive at some point

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

With a date for me
To arrive at some point
He's the Thin Man

He is not my friend, but he is with me
I don't know when it will be
And he promises a peace I never knew
I cannot give in, no, I must refuse him

With a date for me
But could I really be the one to resist that kiss so true
He's the Thin Man
I don't know when it will beTo arrive at some point

The thin man has a date for everyone :) A nice song about mortality.
