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 |

She was pregnant in May
Now they're on their way Dashing thru the snow To St. John's, here we go Well, it could be a boy But it's okay if he's girl Oh, these things that grow out of The things that we give We should move to the west side They still believe in things That give a kid half a chance When he pulled off the road Step in a waltz of ted moon-beams Said he fit an APB, A robbery nearby And he go for his wallet And they thought he was going for a gun And the cops blew Bird away Some kids like watching Saturday cartoons Some girls listen to records all day in their rooms But what do birds leave behind, of the wings that they came with If a son's in a tree building model planes? Skeletons, Skeletons. |

Dutch took 'em on the slow train to Peking on La Brea Avenue
To find the Stax and Sun They were reaching to get to They was a rapping the flat scat Diamond dialectos of points and taps Between the chicken and the back They drew themselves a be-bop Midnight map They said "do you got a map the next joint?" "Do you got a map the next joint?" Pick it up on the night train Down on the corner of rhythm and blues Where I have met all of my boys since Back in '52 Bringing 'em Stax and Sun Cuz I think that Cleveland forgot And Memphis forgot Where they were coming from Do ya like it? Do ya like it like that? Do you like rapping the fat scat? Woody and Dutch dance in the cell of fourteen Like a pill they do it all night Spectators, White-walls, find and greased back Every Saturday night Leaning in the scenery Picking up the kids At the next door neighbors' "Yeah I know what you did Yeah I got a room you can stay in If you promise you won't make so much noise" "No I won't" "No I don't!" |

We got places to go A '57 Lincoln you got a radio that hurts And the girls like to touch it Just to find out if it works But don't look at me It wasn't me Joey live on the edge of the corner Of living on the run I like to ride in the middle I'm just tryin to have some fun Until the Pirates come And take me And I won't need a pilot Got a pirate who might sail Somewhere I heard far away You answer me So i'm holding on To your rainbow sleeves Well, goodbye boys, Oh my buddy boys, Oh my sad-eyed Sinatras It'as a cold globe around the sea You keep the shirt that I bought ya And I know you'll get the chance to make it And nothin's gonna stop you You just reach right out and take it You say - So long, lonely Avenue So long lonely avenue I'll see you there Wait 'n see Be lookin' for me Just like you Just like me |

Oh, he's a lucky guy
Oh, he's a lucky guy He doesn't worry about me When I'm gone He goes to sleep at night He don't turn off the light And wonder how to find me Or if I'm alone Oh, he's a lucky guy I wish I was like him Cuz when he talks about me He don't look this way He's a lucky goy He used to walk with me He used to talk to me See, we have these secrets That no one else could hear Well, he's not the only one No, no not the only one But what happens to them? Do they matter? Do they disappear Into a lonely girl? Now I'm a lonely girl Cuz I want somebody with me in the world Oh, he's a lucky guy Fontune walks right in the door And here I am Just like before Well, I'm not gonna turn around I'm not his pretty clown I'm not the one caught Like he thought He was the last one I had there Cuz I did a foolish thing A real, real stupid thing I told him I love him And I want him there When I knew he wouldn't come And I knew he didn't care And I'll cry awhile I'll cry awhile But when I wake up Tomorrow is a new day I'm a lucky guy Hey, I'm a lucky guy Real, real lucky guy Hey, I'm a lucky guy |

We go down round
The far side of the tracks Lolitas playing dominoes and poker Behind their daddy's shacks Vacant-eyes, glue-face boys On a pearl splashing glass If they give us any flack If they come up on our ass We'll just give 'em the go-by The Cadillac pass Take me now From the blue and pale room I'd follow Through the faces and the traces of Treasure I keep hearing inside me Madmen throw their voices From pretty boys And from the best ones You pick up connections As they hand you your directions To the Western Slope I lied to my angel so I could take you downtown I'd lie to anybody there was nobody else around And I know what people say about me But I lied to my angel and now he can't find me I'm sorry I saw him I saw him Laughing I could hear them Laughing Alive I could hear them E. A. Poe And Johnny Johnson If you dial in They're calling from the Western Slope Who's the thin thread of light That keeps you strangled in the scenery That follows my voice - can you se me? Then follow my voice Who raised this banner? That no one hears - The Jack Beneath the axis Digging under the current Someone's trying to get back But who's qualified to retrieve The soul's enduring song? From the grottos of her eyes And the clashing stars E. A. Poe And Johnny Johnson If you dial in They're calling from the Western Slope Who's the thin thread of light That keeps you strangled in the scenery That follows my voice - can you se me? Then follow my voice - see me? |

But after all
There are such things And these are the things Who'll turn your memories back into dreams again Oh, it's all flying and waving For you to keep trying You're so close. So close. All the returns One of these days, One of these days, One of these days, One of these days. |
