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.
