Letra

What they ate isn't important
And there was no point in lingering over cognac
There was no point in cognac at all
So they skipped it and went out into the street and got a taxi
And they stuffed themselves into opposite corners of the back seat
There wasn't far to go
The cab pulled up to the curb on a street
Lit up with yellow light like a stage
With donor sellers and junkies and rats
And swarthy men in long leather coats and cheap women
Walking back and forth and forth and back
Eating greasy food out of white greasy paper
And kibitzing
Potzdamer Strasse by Nacht
As the cab pulled up to the curb
With the two dark things in opposite corners of the back seat
The two dark things looked away from each other out the side windows
And their looks went out the windows and all the way around the planet
And back in the opposite side window
So though they looked away
They still managed to lick at each other with looks
By going the long way around
Her hand lay forgotten on the back seat
Easily within reach of the fleshy fingers
The fleshy fingers could easily have picked it up
Probably they should have picked it up
But they didn't
They didn't dare
They came close
They reached out
Maybe they even brushed the surface slightly
Yes, I believe the fleshy fingers did
Brush the surface of the white hand
Slightly
The white hand lay easily within reach
But the fleshy fingers wouldn't pick it up
Or they couldn't pick it up
They didn't dare
For the sad truth was
The fleshy fingers were cowards
She got out of the cab
And passing through the crowd of swarthy
Men in long coats and cheap women
And donor sellers, junkies and rats
She passed through the crowd and disappeared into the wall
Only the cab driver saw her disappear
Because only he was watching
She disappeared like positive into negative
She disappeared into the wall
As though she'd never been there
At all
She disappeared like positive into negative
As though she'd never been there
At all
