Fat Freddy's Fingers Reprise
Out on a ledge of a Parisian window a conversation more lost than found
When you've danced with the angels so high in the air the only way forward is down
They found Arrabella in Arunachala she hung out with gurus all day
There's a price on your head in low voice they said coming back there with you then no Way
With candid persuasion and amorous force they took her away in the night
And as Fat Freddy's fingers played mournful and slow they suddenly filled with delight
Isn't she lovely that wonder called Stevie penned all those years long ago
Balletic they're dancing his fingers are prancing into you once more let me grow
Arrabella stayed silent glances looked violent hey Freddy play me a song
The man in the blue-black Italian suit said I think that you know the one?
The mood as it changes Freddy engages and plays with a pensive refrain
R E S P E C T I'll tell you what it means to me dear Freddy need I tell you again?
Fat Freddy's fingers no longer linger least not with the ten he once had
But he still plays piano better than others of six digits I think he was glad
He still lives in the stars and a planet near Mars love darkened his doorstep again
He watches each sunset and says I'm not done yet and opens his mouth to the rain
It's 2.57 and the light from the heavens lunar bathed open roof bar
Adagio for strings by Barber he plays a melody that seems to come from afar
Been looking been looking been looking so long for the heart of Saturday night
Now Fat Freddy's fingers they choose to linger with a peaceful and natural delight
When you've danced with the angels so high in the air the only way forward is down
They found Arrabella in Arunachala she hung out with gurus all day
There's a price on your head in low voice they said coming back there with you then no Way
With candid persuasion and amorous force they took her away in the night
And as Fat Freddy's fingers played mournful and slow they suddenly filled with delight
Isn't she lovely that wonder called Stevie penned all those years long ago
Balletic they're dancing his fingers are prancing into you once more let me grow
Arrabella stayed silent glances looked violent hey Freddy play me a song
The man in the blue-black Italian suit said I think that you know the one?
The mood as it changes Freddy engages and plays with a pensive refrain
R E S P E C T I'll tell you what it means to me dear Freddy need I tell you again?
Fat Freddy's fingers no longer linger least not with the ten he once had
But he still plays piano better than others of six digits I think he was glad
He still lives in the stars and a planet near Mars love darkened his doorstep again
He watches each sunset and says I'm not done yet and opens his mouth to the rain
It's 2.57 and the light from the heavens lunar bathed open roof bar
Adagio for strings by Barber he plays a melody that seems to come from afar
Been looking been looking been looking so long for the heart of Saturday night
Now Fat Freddy's fingers they choose to linger with a peaceful and natural delight
