Lyrics:

The big man arrives**lf**Disco dancers greet him**lf**Plainclothes cops greet him**lf**Small town, big man, fresh lipstick glistening**lf**Sophomore jive**lf**From victims of typewriters**lf**The band sounds like typewriters**lf**The big man he''s not listening**lf**His eyes hold Edith**lf**His left hand holds his right**lf**What does that hand desire**lf**That he grips it so tight**lf****lf**Edith in the ring**lf**The passed over girls are conferring**lf**The man with the diamond ring is purring**lf**All claws for now withdrawn**lf**One by one they bring**lf**His renegade stories to her**lf**His crimes and his glories to her**lf**In challenge they look on**lf**Women he has taken grow old too soon**lf**He tilts their tired faces**lf**Gently to the spoon**lf****lf**Edith in his bed**lf**A plane in the rain is humming**lf**The wires in the walls are humming**lf**Some song some mysterious song**lf**Bars in her head**lf**Beating frantic and snowblind**lf**Romantic and snowblind**lf**She says his crime belongs**lf**Edith and the Kingpin**lf**Each with charm to sway**lf**Are standing eye to eye**lf**They dare not look away**lf**You know they dare not look away**lf**Dare not look away**lf**To look away**lf**Dare not look away
