i was always there when you never were
standing in the fall cold steaming my breath
big shapes billowing out of my mouth
big shapes dissipate like all of our plans
i see you far away but standing right there
dressing up for halloween in another year
yonder go the young folks down to 6th avenue
yonder go the skeleton crew and the boys in blue
as the crowd goes so do we too
i can tell you’d like to leave here now
i wouldn’t wanna wait for me either
i wouldn’t wanna wait for me either
as the sun comes up and zombie makeup
melts in the new day
i swear november will be cleaner
as the leaves all die away
somehow i thought i knew you better than that
listening to all the classic cats
jazz music makes a film of manhattan rain
like how keeping close to you made me new again
but we stuck our noses where they shouldn’t go
looking through all the wrong keyholes
cut out like jack-o-lantern eyeballs
the monster just a candle casting shadows
as the crowd goes so do we too
i can tell you’d like to leave here now
i wouldn’t wanna wait for me either
i wouldn’t wanna wait for me either
as the sun comes up and zombie makeup
melts in the new day
i swear november will be cleaner
as the leaves all die away
as the crowd goes so do we too
i can tell you’d like to leave here now
i wouldn’t wanna wait for me either
i wouldn’t wanna wait for me either
as the sun comes up and zombie makeup
melts in the new day
i swear november will be cleaner
as the leaves all die away
