40 Dogs (Like Romeo and Juliet)

Well, if I spell it out, if I yell it out

Will you hear me when I tell you 'bout

What I have to say, 'fore it gets to 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 book

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 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 living 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 reelin'

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 their 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 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 living ever after, happily

Sometimes you remind me of a moonbeam

On the ghost of a moonbeam out on the beach down by the coast

Slipping through the nil 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 fire gotta, burn a few

Make fire, gotta burn a few

We can do what we wanna do

We're like Romeo and Juliet

40 dogs, cigarettes

We're 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 living ever after, happily
