We walked over the bridge in Milwaukee Past the statues of Fonz and the duck With the wind kicking in and the sparrows all running amok And that woman, your friend who was pregnant Put your hand on her belly for luck And I laughed 'cause it's you and I knew that you knew you were stuck You can tell By your laugh in the dark at the sound of the bell You can tell It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell We got over that bridge and went walking Back to a table with cards to be dealt And a show where the whole front row was taking pictures of itself And then, man, your old friend turned the night on its end Like your time was a bottomless well But you grabbed me and said, "Come on back from the ledge for a spell" You can tell By your laugh in the dark at the sound of the bell You can tell It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell
