The Amorous Humphrey Plugg - Scott Walker

Hello Mr. Big Shot
Say, you're looking smart
I've had a tiring day
I took the kids along to the park
.
You've become a stranger
Every night with the boys
Got a new suit
That old smile's come back
And I kiss the children good night
And I slip away on the newly waxed floor
.
I've become a giant
I fill every street
I dwarf the rooftops
I hunchback the moon
.
Stars dance at my feet
Leave it all behind me
Screaming kids on my knee
And the telly swallowing me
And the neighbor shouting next door
And the subway trembling the roller-skate floor
.
I seek the buildings blazing with moonlight
In Channing Way
Their very eyes seem to suck you in with their laughter
They seem to say
.
You're all right now
So stop a while behind our smile
In Channing Way
.
Oh to die of kis
