THE LANDLORD OR THE GUEST
Her mind made a decision
But her heart disagreed
Certain of a lot of things
Regarding what we need
Regarding what we wanted
Regarding what was best
Shaken to the core
The landlord or the guest
Shaken to the core
The landlord or the guest
Seeking the unseekable
In a back red leather booth
The waiter brought Courvoisier
But no one ordered truth
The lawyers started lining up
Their jackets sharply pressed
Shaken to the core
A landlord or the guest
Shaken to the core
A landlord or the guest
On a rooftop in the darkness
In the morning on the phone
In the magic of a getaway
Even with their cover blown
That debutante in diamonds
She knew she knew the rest
Shaken to the core
A landlord or the guest
Shaken to the core
A landlord or the guest
The weekend wind was howling
The kids ran on the pier
The tourists in from Europe.
Were drunk on gin and beer
The fortune teller gripped me
As if she were possessed
Said “Make up your mind man, the landlord or the guest”
Shaken to the core
The landlord or the guest
