He is not my friend, but he is with me 
Like a shadow is with a foot that falls 
His hand is on my back when I step from the sidewalk 
Or when I'm walking down these darkened halls 
 
He's the Thin Man 
With a date for me 
To arrive at some point 
I don't know when it will be 
 
I can feel his eyes when I don't expect him 
In the back seat of a taxi down Vestry Street 
His arm is around my waist and he pulls me down to him 
He whispers things into my ear that sound so sweet 
 
He's the Thin Man 
With a date for me 
To arrive at some point 
I don't know when it will be 
 
He is not my friend, but he is with me 
And he promises a peace I never knew 
I cannot give in, no, I must refuse him 
But could I really be the one to resist that kiss so true 
 
He's the Thin Man 
With a date for me 
To arrive at some point 
I don't know when it will be
