The object of desire is death.
Well, “Thin Man” is one of the songs that I mentioned to you before, where the specter of death comes into it. I think there was a Jacques Brel song that said, and I’m paraphrasing, “My death is a young woman with her arm around my waist who accompanies me around the...
Thin Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]

Like a shadow is with a foot that falls
His hand is on my back when I step from the sidewalk

[Chorus]
He's the thin man

To arrive at some point
I don't know when it will be, oh
[Verse 2]
I can feel his eyes when I don't expect him
In the back seat of a taxi down Vestry Street
His arm is around my waist and he pulls me to him
And he whispers things into my ear that sound so sweet
[Chorus]
He's the thin man
With a date for me
To arrive at some point
I don't know when it will be, oh
[Verse 3]
He is not my friend, but he is with me
And he promises a peace I never knew
But I cannot give in, no, I must refuse him
Could I really be the one to resist that kiss so true?
[Chorus]
He's the thin man
With a date for me
To arrive at some point
I don't know when it will be, oh
