See them walking into town
Strut like they own the place
Pretty soon they will
Well, next years Arrivistes
Wet behind the ears
And last years men are there
To help them harden up
Don't be a fool
He's using you
And you're using him
There's a tenderness
Between thieves
For a moment
Just don't look forward
Cause this cannot stop
Shadows of buildings
It all leans in
Sliding like mercury
You're gonna live
For so long
Watching, these others win
How can my ship come in
When you are the waterfront?
Cultivate my cruelty
To ma** the herd
I can't express here
Cause Dorothy Parker
Is always safer
Than Valerie Solanas
Or Josephine Baker
So you better stop
From an intern to a bride
Then they come for your house
Compliment you on the wide, western views
Then they lightly throw you out
