lyrics

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
Now its daddy on the booze
And 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

Once Johnny the King made a spit ring
And all the skid kids saw a very, very
proud man
And he entwined her in his finger
And she lay there like a baby in his hand
And climb upon the rooftop docks
lookin' out on the cross-town 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
To turn her into a tattoo
That will 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
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
We belong together.
