Lyrics
We walked over the bridge in Milwaukee
Past the statues of Fonz and the duck
With the wind kicking in and the sparrows all running amok
And that woman, your friend who was pregnant
Put your hand on her belly for luck
And I laughed 'cause it's you and I knew that you knew you were stuck
You can tell
By your laugh in the dark at the sound of the bell
You can tell
It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell We got over that bridge and went walking
Back to a table with cards to be dealt
And a show where the whole front row was taking pictures of itself
And then, man, your old friend turned the night on its end
Like your time was a bottomless well
But you grabbed me and said, "Come on back from the ledge for a spell"
You can tell
By your laugh in the dark at the sound of the bell
You can tell
It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell
