[Verse]
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
She was trapped in my peripheral vision like a long lost silhouette
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
She was fine and dirty and curly and loose
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
And from that sacred moment when the ends of our fingers met
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
I felt a shiver go down into the heels of my cowboy boots
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
See I was cornered like a rat in a prewar drugstore raid
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
And I was ranting and raving and reciting the raunchy blues
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Yeah she knew a thing or two so I didn't have much to say
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
She said I'm here my dear to deliver the good news
[Interlude]
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C# Emaddb13 A#m G# Gm#5 Fm D# C# Emaddb13 A#m
[Verse]
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
You see I felt my life was already over but my moment had just begun
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
So I saw my chance and I grabbed it as best as I could
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
So I lay down in her sweet smelling soulfully seductive quicksand
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Though the ghost of romance stood behind me and might have given me a push
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
We had no friends in common except mister and misses happenstance
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
And I was talking more and more about movies and books
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Then I ran out of words and I asked her well can I have this dance
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
And she thought that was funny and gave me a very, very special look
[Interlude]
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C# Emaddb13 A#m G# Gm#5 Fm D# C# Emaddb13 A#m
[Verse]
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Well the parade was passing and I was marching right behind the majorette
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
She was throwing her baton much higher than the oldest oak tree
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
There was such symbolism I thought Christ had risen and I just had to forget
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
And start over again from the day I stood at my daddy's knew
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
When he said son there's a few things here that I gotta tell you
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
And he bent down low to whisper in my childish ear
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
When just then a squadron of jet fighters passed right over my head
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
And he said promise me boy you'll always keep that thought dear
[Interlude]
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C# Emaddb13 A#m G# Gm#5 Fm D# C# Emaddb13 A#m
[Verse]
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Well I guess I forgot more now than I'll ever remember
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
About why you plant roses when a rainbow is just at its end
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
About why you shouldn't make any new plans till say mid-December
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Keep the new year new as long as you can
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Well here's to the crazies who make a dreary day worth living
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
See them laughing at phonies and frauds who believe so much in themselves
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Because among them I believe is where the magic it keeps itself well hidden
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
From those politicos who would steal the ring out of a church bell
[Interlude]
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C# Emaddb13 A#m G# Gm#5 Fm D# C# Emaddb13 A#m
[Verse]
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
So I went back to her every night till I was totally addicted
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
And she knew it too and believe me that was the very best part
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Sure the newness gets old but she sure knew how to fix it
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
And soon I was sporting a good as new broken in head
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Well we've fought about friends and we've argued about the weather
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
And whether or not we turn left or right when we go out at night
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
I've misused every sacred word that I could remember
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Except for love cause that just wouldn't be right
[Interlude]
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C# Emaddb13 A#m G# Gm#5 Fm D# C# Emaddb13 A#m
[Verse]
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
On Romeo street they're selling bedroom sets and mirrors
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
And couches covered in the most luxurious velour
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
And one day I lay down in the softness but I saw where the fear lives
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
So I turned around and marched back onto the kiling floor
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Yeah Romeo street is twisting its way out into the suburbs
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
But tonight the trade is all running the other way
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Its a madness my dear that keeps us out here in the moonlight
G# Gm#5 Fm D# C#
Its a madness I hope that never ever goes away
[Outro]
