מילים לשיר Edith And The Kingpin – Joni Mitchell

The big man arrives
Disco dancers greet him
Plainclothes cops greet him
Big man, small town, fresh lipstick glistening
The band sounds like typewriters
Sophomore jive
From victims of typewriters
The big man he's not listening
His eyes hold Edith
His left hand holds his right
The passed
What does that hand desire
That he grips it so tight
The man with the diamond ring is purring
Edith in the ring
One by one they bring
His crimes and his glories to her
All claws for now withdrawn
His renegade stories to her
Women he has wanted grow old too soon
In challenge they look on
He tilts their tired faces
Edith in his bed
Gently to the spoon The wires in the walls are humming
A plane in the rain is humming
Beating frantic and snowblind
Some songBars in her head
Romantic and snowblind
Edith and the Kingpin
She saysEach with charm to sway
Are staring eye to eye
They dare not look away
You know they dare not look away.
