Edith And The Kingpin (LP版) - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]
Written by:Joni Mitchell[00:00:03]
The big man arrives[00:00:08]
Disco dancers greet him[00:00:13]
Plainclothes cops greet him[00:00:15]
Small town big man fresh lipstick glistening[00:00:19]
Sophomore jive[00:00:27]
From victims of typewriters[00:00:31]
The band sounds like typewriters[00:00:34]
The big man he's not listening[00:00:38]
His eyes hold Edith[00:00:46]
His left hand holds his right[00:00:48]
What does that hand desire[00:00:52]
That he grips it so tight[00:00:57]
Edith in the ring[00:01:05]
The passed over girls are conferring[00:01:08]
The man with the diamond ring is purring[00:01:12]
All claws for now withdrawn[00:01:17]
One by one they bring[00:01:24]
His renegade stories to her[00:01:28]
His crimes and his glories to her[00:01:32]
In challenge they look on[00:01:36]
Women he has taken grow old too soon[00:01:43]
He tilts their tired faces[00:01:49]
Gently to the spoon[00:01:56]
Edith in his bed[00:02:02]
A plane in the rain is humming[00:02:05]
The wires in the walls are humming[00:02:10]
Some song some mysterious song[00:02:16]
Bars in her head[00:02:22]
Beating frantic and snowblind[00:02:26]
Romantic and snowblind[00:02:29]
She says his crime belongs[00:02:33]
Edith and the kingpin[00:02:41]
Each with charm to sway[00:02:43]
Are staring eye to eye[00:02:47]
They dare not look away[00:02:52]
You know they dare not look away[00:02:56]
