I say this was no game of chicken, you were aiming your best friend |
|
That you wear like a switchblade on a chain around your neck |
|
I think you picked this up in Mexico from your dad |
|
And it's daddy on the booze and there's a Brando on the ice |
|
Now it's dean in the doorway |
|
With one more way he can't play this scene twice |
|
So you drug her down every drag of this forbidden fit of love |
|
And you told her to stand tall when you kissed her |
|
But that's not where you were thinking |
|
How could a Natalie Wood not get sucked into a scene so custom tucked? |
|
But now look who shows up in the same place in this case I think it's better |
|
To face it, we belong together, we belong together |
|
Now once Johnny the King made a spit ring |
|
And all the skid kids saw a very, very proud man |
|
And he entwine her in his finger and she lay there like a baby in his hand |
|
And climb upon the rooftop docks lookin' out on the crosstown seas |
|
And he wraps his jacket across her shoulders |
|
And he falls and hugs and holds her on his knees |
|
But a sailor just takes a broad down to the dark end of the fair |
|
And to turn her into a tattoo that'll whisper |
|
Into the back of Johnny's black hair |
|
And now Johnny the king walks these streets without her in the rain |
|
Lookin' for a leather jacket and a girl who wrote her name forever |
|
And a promise that we belong together, we belong together |
|
Shall we weigh along these streets young lions on the lam? |
|
Are the signs you hid deep in your heart all left on neon for them? |
|
Who are foolish, who are victim of the sailors and the ducky boys |
|
Who would move into your eyes and lips and every tear |
|
That falls down on the neighborhood now |
|
I said, "Bird, we just gotta tell them" and they turn and ignore us |
|
And the only heroes we got left are written right before us |
|
And the only angel who sees us now watches through each other's eyes |
|
And I can hear him in every footstep's passing sigh |
|
He goes crazy these nights, watching heartbeats go by |
|
And they whisper we belong together, but we belong together |
|
We belong together, we belong together |
