Meeting Across the River
Nighttime Secrets: A Journey of Risk and Redemption
Lyrics
Hey Eddie, can you lend me a few bucks?
Request for a financial favor from Eddie.
Tonight, can you get us a ride?
Asking Eddie to arrange transportation for tonight.
Gotta make it through the tunnel
Referring to a tunnel they need to pass through.
Got a meeting with a man on the other side
Indicating a meeting with someone on the other side of the tunnel.
Hey Eddie, this guy, he's the real thing
Introducing a person described as "the real thing."
So if you want to come along
Inviting Eddie to join but emphasizing discretion.
You gotta promise you won't say anything
Requesting Eddie to keep the meeting confidential.
'Cause this guy don't dance
Describing the person as someone who doesn't dance.
And the word's been passed, this is our last chance
Implying that the opportunity is crucial and may not come again.
We gotta stay cool tonight, Eddie
Emphasizing the need to remain composed.
'Cause man, we got ourselves out on that line
Highlighting the risk they've taken and the importance of success.
And if we blow this one
Warning about the consequences of failure.
They ain't gonna be looking for just me this time
Anticipating increased scrutiny if they fail this time.
And all we gotta do is hold up our end
Stressing the importance of fulfilling their part of the deal.
Here, stuff this in your pocket
Handing something to Eddie discreetly.
It'll look like you're carrying a friend
Suggesting that Eddie conceals the item to avoid suspicion.
And remember, just don't smile
Advising Eddie not to draw attention to himself.
Change your shirt, 'cause tonight we got style
Emphasizing the importance of appearance for the night.
Cherry says she's gonna walk
Referencing a person named Cherry and her plans.
'Cause she found out I took her radio and hocked it
Explaining Cherry's reaction to a missing radio.
But Eddie, man, she don't understand
Expressing Cherry's lack of understanding of the situation.
That two grand's practically sitting here in my pocket
Revealing the money gained from selling the radio.
Tonight's gonna be everything that I said
Anticipating a successful outcome for the night.
And when I walk through that door
Describing a confident entrance with money in hand.
I'm just gonna throw that money on the bed
Intending to impress with the display of money on the bed.
She'll see this time I wasn't just talking
Asserting that previous promises were not empty talk.
Then I'm gonna go out walking
Planning to go out walking, perhaps as a celebration.
Hey Eddie, can you catch us a ride?
Reiterating the request for Eddie to arrange transportation.
