40 Dogs |
Well if I spell it out, if I get it out, |
Will you hear me when I tell you about |
What I have to say, before it gets too late? |
It’s not as easy as I said it’d be, |
But there’s something right about you and me, |
Something right about you and me. |
Well you’re the color of a burning brook, |
You’re the color of a sideways look from an undercover cop in a comic book |
You’re the color of a storm in June, |
You’re the color of the moon. |
You’re the color of the night, that’s right, |
Color of a fight — you move me. |
You’re the color of the colored part of The Wizard of Oz movie. |
We’re like Romeo and Juliet, |
We’re like 40 dogs, cigarettes, |
We’re like good times that haven’t happened yet but will. |
And I can tell you where we’re gonna be |
When the whole world falls to the sea: |
We’ll be livin' ever after, happily. |
All the boys taking you for granted, |
Tell you what they want with their eyes all slanted. |
I don’t like the way they look at you, |
I don’t like the way they talk to, |
I don’t like the way they talk to you. |
I wouldn’t let 'em talk to you like that. |
Put 'em up high, reach for the ceiling. |
Tell them that I’ma walk, damn it, I’m real, |
And it ain’t no crime, it’s just dreams we’re stealing — |
Anything to get more of this feeling |
You take the high and I’ll take the low, |
We’ll get there before you know. |
We ain’t got no time to waste, |
We got too much life to taste. |
We’re like Romeo and Juliet, |
And 40 dogs, cigarettes, |
We’re like good times that haven’t happened yet but will. |
And I can tell you where we’re gonna be |
When the whole world falls to the sea: |
We’ll be livin' ever after, happily. |
Sometimes you remind me of a moonbeam, |
On the ghost of a moonbeam out on the beach, |
Down by the coast, slip into Manila, |
Like the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. |
Come out tonight, come out with me, baby. |
We’ll throw the careful into the crazy, |
Turn the sky black into a sky blue, |
Turn the close shave into a hoo-hoo. |
What I say is true, make a fire, gotta burn a few, |
Make a fire, gotta burn a few, |
We can do what we want to do. |
We’re like Romeo and Juliet, 40 dogs, cigarettes, |
We’re like good times that haven’t happened yet but will. |
I can tell you where we’re gonna be |
When the whole world falls to the sea: |
We’ll be livin' ever after, happily. |
