40 Dogs (Romeo and Juliet)

Well, if I spell it out
If I got 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 would 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 night that’s right
Color of a fight you move me
You’re the color of the color part of the Wizard of Oz movie

We’re like Romeo and Juliet
We’re like 40 dogs, cigarettes
With our 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

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, too
I don’t like the way they talk to you
I wouldn’t let them talk to you like that

Put’um up high
Reach for the ceiling tell them to walk dammit
I'm real’in it ain’t no crime
Its just dreams we’re stealing anything to get more of this feeling
You take the high and I’ll take the low, well
Get there before you know we ain’t got no time to waste
We got too much light to taste

We’re like Romeo and Juliet
And 40 dogs, ‘n cigarettes
With our 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 and 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
To make fire, gotta’ burn a few
To make fire, gotta’ burn a few
We can do what we want to do

We’re like Romeo and Juliet
And 40 dogs and cigarettes
With our 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 and happily
