Murderer 03:57 video
The air is still, the moon a yellow fingernail It smells like gin beneath the junipers A scraping sound, shovel in the muddy ground I hope you thought to bring a change of shoes Listen dear, we have a situation here Someone’s picking up what we put down Oh my word, I got it from a little bird It might be better if we're not around You're a murderer, what you gonna do I'm a murderer too I'm a murderer, say it cause its true You're a murderer too Your pouty lip, chewing on your fingertip A troubled look across your face Narrow squint did we wipe the fingerprints How can we be sure we left no trace Sin or crime, I think we might have crossed a line I fear my dear there is no turning back Do you recall the moment when we lost it all A clenched fist going slack

Walk with me for a while
 Past the parking lot out where the boats glide by
 As the sun settles down on the Upper West Side 
We’ll leave solid ground behind Put our faces to the wind
 Tell stories and secrets of lovers and friends
 Or say nothing at all Do the east river ferry waltz… Queens softly snores
 She’s got to wake up for work in the morning 
Manhattan's a drunken mess
 Passed out in her silver party dress
 As we bump into Brooklyn shore
 We stumble like drunkards across the floor
 With a step two three, step two three, step two three turn… Do the east river ferry waltz… When the waters rise again 
Never to come back down
 We'll sail between tall buildings 
Where we used to work uptown
 And an orchestra of seagulls
 With be the only sound
 And we’ll turn to face each other Do the east river ferry waltz… The wind can blow good things to you
 But the tide will pull them away
 Let's treasure this time between us two
 With the intimate lopsided sway Of the east river ferry waltz…
