1
I say this was no game of chicken
2
You were aiming your best friend
3
That you wear like a switchblade on a chain around your neck
4
I think you picked this up in Mexico from your dad
5
Now it's daddy on the booze
6
And Brando on the ice
7
Now it's Dean in the doorway
8
With one more way he can't play this scene twice
9
So you drug her down every drag of this forbidden fit of love
10
And you told her to stand tall whet you kissed her
11
But that's not where you were thinking...
12
How could a Natalie Wood not get sucked into a scene so custom tucked?
13
How now look who shows up
14
In the same place
15
In this case
16
I think it's better
17
To face it ---
18
We belong together
19
We belong together
20
Once Johnny the King made a spit ring
21
And all the skid kids saw a very, very proud man
22
And he entwine her in his finger
23
And she lay there like a baby in his hand
24
And climb upon the rooftop docks lookin' out on the crosstown seas
25
And he wraps his jacket across her shoulders
26
And he falls and hugs and holds her on his knees
27
But a sailor just takes a broad down to the dark end of the fair
28
To turn her into a tattoo
29
That will whisper
30
Into the back of Johnny's black hair
31
And now Johnny the King walks these streets without her in the rain
32
Lookin' for a leather jacket
33
And a girl who wrote her name forever
34
A promise that ---
35
We belong together
36
We belong together
37
Shall we weigh along these streets
38
Young lions on the lam?
39
Are the signs you hid deep in your heart
40
All left on neon for them?
41
Who are foolish
42
Who are victim
43
Of the sailors and the ducky boys who would
44
Move into your eyes and lips and
45
Every tear
46
That falls down on the neighborhood now
47
I said "Bird, we just gotta tell them"
48
And they turn and ignore us
49
And the only heroes we got left
50
Are written right before us
51
And the only angel who sees us now
52
Watches through each other's eyes
53
And I can hear him
54
In every footstep's passing sigh
55
He goes crazy these nights
56
Watching heartbeats go by...
57
And they wisper ---
58
We belong together
59
We belong together
