[length: 05:09]
[00:10.02]Press the doorbell and push the door
[00:12.42]Climb the darkened stairwell to the second floor
[00:18.04]She’ll be waiting for you in her dressing-gown
[00:24.08]With the drink she poured you when she heard the sound
[00:30.94]Watch the film, eat the food she cooked
[00:36.18]Talk of how the film ain’t half as good as the book
[00:41.54]Kiss her sleepy eyes closed and say ‘it’s time’
[00:47.54]To slip beneath the shadows of the bedroom blinds
[00:53.29]Well it’s always a pleasure and never a chore
[00:59.49]But you just don’t know whether you’re doing it for the right reasons
[01:08.75]It’s cold for the season down in the street below
[01:23.54]Men and women go about their business
[01:28.51]Picking up the last few things for Christmas
[01:32.33]Trying not to step upon the pigeons
[01:35.86]Praying to the gods of their religions
[01:39.55]That they might be spared a little longer
[01:42.95]That they might become a little stronger
[01:47.30]Down in the street below
[01:54.06]Everybody’s on a secret mission
[01:58.60]Everybody’s got their own ambitions
[02:02.29]They would tell you if they thought you’d listen
[02:06.16]They would say how lately they’ve been wishing
[02:09.78]For the chance to meet a handsome stranger
[02:13.27]Lead a life of elegance and danger
[02:17.42]Down in the street below
[02:24.42]Down in the street below
[02:33.87]Way up high in a phallic tower
[02:39.36]You’re swimming in a tiny galaxy of stars
[02:45.54]Knocking back mojitos at the cocktail bar
[02:51.46]Talking ’bout burritos and conceptual art
[02:57.51]Your armchair’s round and your glass is square
[03:03.76]The clientele’s straight out of this month’s Vanity Fair
[03:09.78]Well look around the place, something’s not quite right
[03:15.36]Yours is the only face that you don’t recognize
[03:20.85]Well it’s always a pleasure and never a chore
[03:27.23]But you just don’t know whether you’re doing it for the right reasons
[03:38.24]It’s cold for the season down in the street below
