[Verse 1: Aimee Mann]
We walked over the bridge in Milwaukee
Past the statue of Fonz and the duck
With the wind kicking in
And the sparrows a-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
[Chorus: Ted Leo & Aimee Mann]
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
It's the nucleus burning inside of the cell
[Verse 2: Ted Leo]
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"
