Meeting across the river

Hey, Eddie, can you lend me a few bucks
And tonight can you get us a ride
Gotta make it through the tunnel
Got a meeting with a man on the other side
Hey Eddie, this guy, he´s the real thing
So if you want to come along
You gotta promise you won´t say anything
´Cause this guy don´t dance
And the word´s been passed this is our last chance
We gotta stay cool tonight, Eddie
´Cause man, we got ourselves out on that line
And if we blow this one
They ain´t gonna be looking for just me this time
And all we gotta do is hold up our end
Here stuff this in your pocket
It´ll look like you´re carrying a friend
And remember, just don´t smile
Change your shirt, ´cause tonight we got style
Well Cherry says she´s gonna walk
´Cause she found out I took her radio and hocked it
But Eddie, man, she don´t understand
That two grand´s practically sitting here in my pocket
And tonight´s gonna be everything that I said
And when I walk through that door
I´m just gonna throw that money on the bed
She´ll see this time I wasn´t just talking
Then I´m gonna go out walking
Hey Eddie, can you catch us a ride?
And tonight can you get us a ride
Gotta make it through the tunnel
Got a meeting with a man on the other side
Hey Eddie, this guy, he´s the real thing
So if you want to come along
You gotta promise you won´t say anything
´Cause this guy don´t dance
And the word´s been passed this is our last chance
We gotta stay cool tonight, Eddie
´Cause man, we got ourselves out on that line
And if we blow this one
They ain´t gonna be looking for just me this time
And all we gotta do is hold up our end
Here stuff this in your pocket
It´ll look like you´re carrying a friend
And remember, just don´t smile
Change your shirt, ´cause tonight we got style
Well Cherry says she´s gonna walk
´Cause she found out I took her radio and hocked it
But Eddie, man, she don´t understand
That two grand´s practically sitting here in my pocket
And tonight´s gonna be everything that I said
And when I walk through that door
I´m just gonna throw that money on the bed
She´ll see this time I wasn´t just talking
Then I´m gonna go out walking
Hey Eddie, can you catch us a ride?
