We Belong Together

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 when 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?

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 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 the sailor just takes the broad down to the dark end of the fair

And he turn her into a tattoo that'll 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

And a promise that

We belong together

Yeah, 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 whisper

We belong together, oh

But we belong together

We belong together

We belong together
