Rickie Lee Jones - We Belong Together 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 whet you kissed her But that's not where you were thinking... How could a Natalie Wood not get s**ed 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 pa**ing sigh He goes crazy these nights Watching heartbeats go by... And they wisper --- We belong together We belong together
