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
