Suzanne Vega — Thin Man lyrics

Lyrics

He is not my friend, but he is with me Like a shadow is with a foot that falls
His hand is on my back when I step from the sidewalk
Or when I’m walking down these darkened halls
He’s the Thin Man
With a date for me To arrive at some point
I don’t know when it will be 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
He’s the Thin Man
With a date for me To arrive at some point
I don’t know when it will be He is not my friend, but he is with me And he promises a peace I never knew
I cannot give in, no, I must refuse him
But could I really be the one to resist that kiss so true
He’s the Thin Man
With a date for me To arrive at some point
I don’t know when it will be
