Lyrics
The thin man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're just a little starving
Two feet away and I can't reach
Two feet away like a dream
You rub your hands together
Sparks fly
The thin man and his hungry wife
Fireworks for you in the sirocco
Fireworks for you in the ozone snow
In the ozone snow
We're just a little lonely
Did you break the promise half asleep
Did you make a promise you can't keep
You rub your hands together
Sparks fly
The thin man and his hungry wife
Fireworks for you in the sirocco
Fireworks for you in the ozone snow
In the ozone snow
