This song, in keeping with the album’s theme of songs for noir movies, tells the story of an English assassin, and the psychological tole his job takes on him. He seems to always want to get out of his job, but always has just one more job to do, resulting in him never leaving. The chorus describes...
[Verse 1]
In the lamplight in the evening rain
A figure falls, dying, to the pavement
While in the cafe, on the avenue
You put away your gun, and read the news
Like flowers on some forgotten tomb
For lovers that long ago, lost their bloom
Lost in the memory of someone they knew
Just another life, you're passing through
[Chorus]
Hey, yeah
They say the saddest things
The way they look into your eyes, and see their destiny
Hey, yeah
They say it's just the one more time, and then you'll stop
You say it's over
When they look into your eyes
[Bridge]
Would you find it hard to say
Till someone comes for you, that way?
[Verse 2]
You'll find the next address
In the words written between the line of a book they left
Or in a letter pressed into your hand, by someone you met
Who you thought a lover, right up till then
[Chorus]
Hey, yeah
They say the saddest things
The way they look into your eyes, and see their destiny
Hey, yeah
They say it's just the one more time, and then you'll stop
You say it's over
When they look into your eyes
