Butch Ross – We Belong Together lyrics

I say this was no game of chicken
You were aiming for best friend
That you wear like a switchblade around your neck
I think you picked that up in Mexico from your dad
Now its daddy on the booze
And Brando on the ice
and it's Dean in the doorway
With one more way he can't play out this scene twice
So you drug her down every drag of this forbidden fit of love
And you said stand tall when you kissed her
But that's not what you were thinking of
How could a Natalie Wood not get sucked into a scene so custom tucked?
How now look who shows up
In this place
In this case
I think that 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 on his finger
And she lay there just like a baby in his hand
climb upon the rooftop docks lookin' over a crosstown seas
And he wraps his jacket across her shoulders
And he falls down in front of her and he hugs her 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 lay along these streets
Young lions on the lam?
Are the signs you hid deep in your heart
All lit up on neon for them?
Who are the losers
Who are the victims
Of the sailors and the junky boys who
fall down every street and slide down every tear
That falls down on this 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 angels watching
are watching through each other's eyes
And I hear her tonight
In each footstep's passing sigh
I go crazy these nights
Watching heartbeats go by...
And they whisper -
We belong together
We belong together
We belong together
