Edith And The Kingpin by Herbie Hancock


The big man arrives

Disco dancers greet him

Plainclothes cops greet him

Small town, big man

Fresh lipstick glistening

 

Sophomore jive

From victims of typewriters

The band sounds like typewriters

The big man he's not listening

 

His eyes hold Edith

His left hand holds his right

What does that hand desire

That he grips it so tight?

Edith in the ring

The passed-over girls are conferring

The man with the diamond ring is purring

All claws for now withdrawn

 

One by one they bring

His renegade stories to her

His crimes and his glories to her

In challenge they look on

 

Women he has taken

Grow old too soon

He tilts their tired faces

Gently to the spoon

 

Edith in his bed

A plane in the rain is humming

The wires in the walls are humming

Some song, some mysterious song

 

Bars in her head

Beating frantic and snow blind

Romantic and snow blind

She says his crime belongs

 

Edith and the kingpin

Each with charm to sway

Are staring eye to eye

They dare not look away

You know they dare not look away
