Silent air,
it's a willow tree
This road is like a river to me
Sun goes down on Wisdom Street
Break the glass and take away the keys Somewhere out where the fates collide
Cigarettes and gauging light I'd sit here in the long cafe
So stripped away,
so stripped away Everybody knows
I'm your street corner Romeo Everybody knows
You're my heroine Everybody knows
Charlie Parker loves me
She loves you, too She loves you, too
Sit with me forevermore It's the draft to call when they open the door
Sing to me whenever you're drunk and we'll drift away,
we'll drift away,
we'll drift away
Everybody knows I'm your street corner Romeo
Everybody knows You're my heroine
Everybody knows
Charlie Parker loves me I feel your heartbeat underneath my skin
Like a New Orleans night,
but the rain can't get in
So red hot, dig the bebop under the cool,
cool lights And the glass blue nights Everybody knows
I'm your street corner Romeo Everybody knows
Charlie Parker loves me
I'm your street corner Romeo
Somewhere out where the fates collide,
baby Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Charlie Parker loves me
I'm your street corner Romeo,
baby
I'm your street corner Romeo
You're my Juliet in red
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Charlie Parker loves me
I'm Charlie Parker loves me
