We will fly Way up high Where the cold wind blows Or in the sun Laughing having fun With the people that she knows And if the situation Should keep us separated You know the world won't fall apart And you will free the beautiful bird That's caught inside your heart Can't you hear her? Oh she cries so loud Casts her wild note Over water and cloud That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' We'll be riding on the horses, yeah Way up in the sky, little darlin' And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
You will grow And until you go I'll be right there by your side And even then Whisper the wind And she will carry up your ride I hear all the people of the world In one bird's lonely cry See them trying every way they know how To make their spirit fly Can't you see him? He's down on the ground He has a broken wing Looking all around
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' You go riding on the horses, yeah Way up in the sky, little darlin' And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up Can't you hear her? Oh she cries so loud Casts her wild note Over water and cloud I'll pick you up darlin' if you fall Don't worry 'bout a thing little girl Because I was young myself not so long ago And when I was young When I was young And when I was young, oh I was a wild, wild one.

That means Chuck E's in love
I don't believe what you're saying to me This is something I got to see. Is he here? I look in the poolhall. Is he here? I look in the drugstore. Is he here? No, he don't come here no more
Well I'll tell you what, I saw him He was sittin' behind us down at the Pantages And whatever is that he's got up his sleeve I hope it isn't contagious What's her name? Is that her there? Oh Christ, I think he's even combed his hair! And is that her? Well then what's her name? Oh, it's never gonna be same. That's not her I know what's wrong 'Cause Chuck E's in love with the little girl singing this song Don't you know Chuck E's in love, Chuck E's in love Chuck E's in love, Chuck E's in love ... Chuck E's in love with me
The most as you'll ever go Is back where you used to know If grown-ups could laugh this slow Where as you watch the hour snow Years may go by So hold on to your special friend Here, you'll need something to keep her in "Now you stay inside this foolish grin ... " Though any day your secrets end Then again Years may go by
You saved your own special friend 'Cuz here you need something to hide her in And you stay inside that foolish grin When everyday now secrets end Oh and then again Years may go by
Here I'm going Wlakin' with my baby in my arms 'Cuz I am in the wrong end of the eight ball black And the devil, see, he's right behind us And this worker said she's gonna take my little baby My little angel back But they won't getcha,
'Cuz I'm right here witcha On the night train
Swing low, Saint Cadillac Tearin' down the alley And I'm reachin' so high for ya Don't let 'em take me back Broken like valiums and chumps in the rain That cry and quiver When a blue horizon is sleeping in the station With a ticket for a train Surely mine will deliver me there Here she comes ...
I'm safe here with you On the night train Oh mamma, mamma, Concrete is wheeling by Down at the end of a lullaby On the night train
Take a walk around midnight in the city Young Blood is hiding there somewhere If you're looking for something to do There's always something happening there
Like I & Bragger, we borrowed a coupe to day Here come Pepe and she's got a friend with a chevrolet But she ain't running She's walking a little slow And she ain't crying-- she's just singing a little low
They say this city will make you dirty But you look alright You feel real pretty when he's holding you tight City will make you mean But that's just make-up on your face Love will wash you clean in the night's disgrace
Find a block where your people can find you Keep a third eye watching behind you You never know when you're making a memory They will wish they were here together again, someday Kids looking for something to get into-- Take a look Two for the movie show Three for the back row Hold on tight! Remember, you might have looked like cool twelve But your fuse just felt like dynamite
Take a walk around midnight in the city Young Blood will find you there, somewhere And if you're looking for something to do There's always something happening there
There was a Joe Leanin' on the back door A couple Jills with their eyes on a couple bills Their eyes was statin' They was waitin' To get their hands on some easy money
They flipped a dime One said " well, I'll take heads this time" One stepped up One stepped back One loosened her shoulder strap She couldn't speak, Her knees got weak She could almost taste that easy money
There was this old black cat Sittin' in a old black cadillac The Joe smelled sweet She curled up at her boyfriend's feet She said "I got a plan Listen, Sam, how'd ya like to make some easy money ? " He say, "yes! oh yes! Jus' tell me what you want me to do " She said, "Baby, you can trust me Baby, but you must be hidin' in my room At a quarter to two" Well, the cat told the boy "Come up to the room and play with my toy" But the Jill set the bait And she wasn't gonna sit around and wait But this guy was wise to all the lies And he flies out the door With the easy money
Because there ain't no man Who got the money in his hand Who got any of that bread Bein' slow in the head The easier it looks The hotter it hooks There ain't no such thing as easy money We say, "yes! oh yes!" Saturday night There was a terrible, terrible fight Between two dames who was losin' the same game It wasn't clear, But I hear somebody was lookin' for some easy money
A long stretch of headlights Bends into I-9 Tiptoe into truck stops And sleepy diesel eyes Volcanoes rumble in the taxi And glow in the dark Camels in the driver's seat A slow, easy mark
But you ran out of gas Down the road a piece Then the battery went dead And now the cable won't reach...
It's your last chance To check under the hood Last chance She ain't soundin' too good, Your last chance To trust the man with the star You've found the last chance Texaco
Well, he tried to be Standard He tries to be Mobil He tried living in a world And in a shell There was this block-busted blonde He loved her - free parts and labor But she broke down and died And threw all the rods he gave her
But this one ain't fuel-injected Her plug's disconnected She gets scared and she stalls She just needs a man, that's all
It's her last chance Her timing's all wrong Her last chance She can't idle this long Her last chance Turn her over and go Pullin' out of the last chance texaco The last chance
Downstairs at danny's all-star joint They got a juke box that goes doyt-doyt The vice is nice, they stay in the back all day But when the nighttime comes, hey-hey There's this cat down there that makes a bad kinda soup I come around struttin' my luck in my shoop coupe Cecil gives me coffee And he won't never take my coin I say, " I got thirty dollars in my pocket! Whatchoo doin' ? "
I holler, " Come on, Cecil, take a dollar! Come on, Cecil, take a ten! I've finally geared up into a whole buncha big ones And you're actin' like I'm down-shiftin' "
He knows all the under-riders on the boulevard They got to barefoot cruise when it's forty-weight hard They look particularly dead-beat Permanently pale Cecil picks up his butcher knife Waves it at the jail The kid say, " I ain't got no dough, Joe, I just want some o.j " I said, " Don't look at me " ( Cuz he was lookin' my way ) Cecil wink upon him some juice and some green And the kid walks over and puts the quarter in the pinball machine And he says, " Come on, Cec, gimme a dollar Come on Cecil gimme five I'm in a half-way house on a one-way street And I'm a quarter past left alive " He can talk about your people in a wonderful way He can talk about your people 'til your hair turns grey
I and Braggar, and Junior Lee, well that's the way we always thought it would be In the wind-strewn leaves of September, how we met Decked out like aces, we'd beat anybody's bet
Cuz we was Coolsville....cuz we was Coolsville
Well you stick it here; you stick it over there; but it never fits
And now a hungry night you want more and more and you chip in your little kiss. Well, I jumped all his jokers, but he trumped all my tricks
And I swear to God I thought this one was smart enough to stick it into Coolsville.....yeah stick it into Coolsville...
So now it's J and B, and me, and that sounds close, but it ain't the same (well, that's okay) Hot City don't hurt that much but everything feels the same Well the real thing come and the real thing go... Well the real thing is back in town... Ask me if you wanna know The way to Coolsville.... (Well I hear you wanna go back to Coolsville... Well come on honey, take you back...to Coolsville)
Sal was working at Nyro's nook in downtown Selling articles of congress to these people downtown He was pretty sleezy when I met him A weasel in a poor boy's wool

So, Sal, say good-bye to your mom and your dad Sal, say good-bye to the barrio Sal, say good-bye to your buddies and your pals Angela, Perry and Mario
Kid Sinister with the Bus Stop Blues A quarter could take you home A dime could make a dream come true But a weasel ain't got a dime for the phone ( Does a weasel got a dime for the phone ? )

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 whet 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? How 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 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 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 wisper --- We belong together We belong together
