I say this is
no game of chicken
You were aimin'
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 it's 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 what
you was thinkin'
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 they climb upon
the rooftop docks
Lookin' out on
the crosstown seas
And he wraps his jacket
around her shoulders
And he falls and hugs
and holds her on his knees
But a sailor just takes
a broad own 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 the streets
without her in the rain
Lookin' for a leather jacket
And a girl who wrote
her name forever
And he promised her
We belong together
We belong together
Shall we weigh along
these streets
Young lions on the lam
All the signs you had
deep in your heart
all left on neon for them
Who are foolish
who are victims
of the sailors and
the ducky boys who would
Move from the eyes and lips
and every tear 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
watches through
each other's eyes
Ooo and I can hear him
in every footstep's
passin' sigh
He goes crazy these nights
watchin' heartbeats go by
And they whisper
We belong together
We belong together
We belong together
We belong together
