Ah his fi ngernails I see they're bro ken
H is ships they're all on fi re
T he moneylender's lovely little daughter
Ah she's eaten she's eaten with desire
S he spies him through the gla sses
From the pa wnshops o f her wicked fa ther
S he hails him with a mi crophone
That some poor si nger just like m e had to le ave her
S he tempts him with a cla rinet
S he waves a Nazi da gger
S he finds him ly ing in a he ap
She wants to b e his wo man
H e says "Yes I just might go to sleep
But kindly l eave leave the future leave it open."
H e stands where it is steep
Oh I gu ess he thinks that he's the very first one
H is hand upon his leather be lt now
Like it was the whe el of some big ocean li ner
A nd she will learn to touch herse lf so well
As all the sa ils burn do wn like paper
A nd he has lit the cha in
O f his famous cigaril lo
A h they'll never they'll neve r ever reach the mo on
At least not the on e that we're af ter
I t's floating broken on the open sea look out there my friends
And it car ries no survivors
B ut let's leave these lovers wo ndering
Why the y cannot ha ve each other
A nd let's sing another so ng boys
This one has gr own ol d and bi tter
