I walk across the road
And the duke opens his door
I've got to get away from what I know

I take a seat by an open window
I turn when I hear someone say,
"It can go both ways."

I finish my drink and reach for my coat
I say goodbye to some people
That I think I know

I step into the street
The rain feels nice in this heat
I say I'm sorry as I reach for the lights


There's nothing like a long walk on a rainy night
There's nothing like a long walk on a rainy night


I take some advice from a man in death intercepted
He said, "Take some time,

Don't let the small things pass by."
But still I cover myself in the presence
Of a body that's lifeless

I say I'm sorry as I reach for the lights

No, I'll never let you see me undress

Oh, the death of a salesman
