| [00:21.00] | Heat waves on the runway |
| [00:25.00] | As the wheels set down |
| [00:29.00] | He takes his baggage off the carousel |
| [00:34.00] | He takes a taxi into town |
| [00:40.00] | Yellow schools of taxi fishes |
| [00:44.00] | Jonah in a ticking whale |
| [00:48.00] | Caught up at the light in the fishnet windows |
| [00:54.00] | Of Bloomingdale's |
| [00:59.00] | Watching those high fashion girls |
| [01:04.00] | Skinny black models with Raveen curls |
| [01:08.00] | Beauty parlor blondes with credit card eyes |
| [01:13.00] | Looking for the chic and the fancy |
| [01:17.00] | To buy |
| [01:26.00] | He opens up his suitcase |
| [01:30.00] | In the continental suite |
| [01:34.00] | And people twenty stories down |
| [01:40.00] | Colored currents in the street |
| [01:45.00] | A helicopter lands on the Pan Am roof |
| [01:49.00] | Like a dragonfly on a tomb |
| [01:53.00] | And business men in button downs |
| [01:59.00] | Press into conference rooms |
| [02:05.00] | Battalions of paper-minded males |
| [02:09.00] | Talking commodities and sales |
| [02:13.00] | While at home their paper wives |
| [02:14.00] | And paper kids |
| [02:18.00] | Paper the walls to keep their gut reactions hid |
| [02:39.00] | Yellow checkers for the kitchen |
| [02:43.00] | Climbing ivy for the bath |
| [02:46.00] | She is lost in House and Gardens |
| [02:52.00] | He's caught up in Chief of Staff |
| [02:58.00] | He drifts off into the memory |
| [03:02.00] | Of the way she looked in school |
| [03:05.00] | With her body oiled and shining |
| [03:12.00] | At the public swimming pool ... |
| [03:37.00] | The more I'm with you, pretty baby “ |
| [03:43.00] | The more I feel my love increase |
| [03:50.00] | I'm building all my dreams around you |
| [03:57.00] | Our happiness will never cease |
| [04:03.00] | 'Cause nothing's any good without you |
| [04:09.00] | Baby you're my centerpiece |
| [04:56.00] | We'll find a house and garden somewhere |
| [05:03.00] | Along a country road a piece |
| [05:09.00] | A little cottage on the outskirts |
| [05:15.00] | Where we can really find release |
| [05:21.00] | 'Cause nothing's any good without you |
| [05:29.00] | Baby you're my centerpiece |
| [05:52.00] | ...Shining hair and shining skin |
| [05:57.00] | Shining as she reeled him in |
| [06:01.00] | To tell him like she did today |
| [06:06.00] | Just what he could do with Harry's House |
| [06:10.00] | And Harry's take home pay |
| [00:21.00] | Heat waves on the runway |
