We Belong Together

Well, I say this was no game of chicken You were aiming at your best friend You wear like switchblades on a chain around your neck One you got in Mexico from your dad And it's daddy on the booze, and it's Brando on the ice And then, it's Dean in the doorway with one more way He can't play this scene twice And you drug her down every drag and your little fits of love And tell to stand up tall when your man kisses you, darling But, that's not how I hear when I'm thinking How could a Natalie Wood not get sucked into a scene so custom tucked? Hey, look who shows up in the same place In this case, I think it's better We belong together We belong together Once Johnny the King made a spit ring And all these skid kids see this very proud man And he entwines her in his fingers And they laid there Climb upon the rooftop docks out on the crosstown seas When he wraps his jacket across her shoulders Foes and foreigner hugs her and holds her on his knees But the sailor in him takes her down to the dark end of the fair And turns her into a tattoo And whispers 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 girl who wrote her name forever A promise, we belong together 'Cause we belong together Shall we weigh along these streets Young lions on the lam? And the signs you had dipped in your heart Left on the neon for them? Well, they are fools No, they are victims They're sailors and these ducky boys Who move into your own eyes and your own lips And your own tear, your own street Listen, bird, we have to tell them, they turn and ignore us Only heroes we have are written before us Our only angel who look at us 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 to me Yes, we belong together (baby, baby) We belong together, yeah But we belong together
