Silent as
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 caging light
I 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 hero Will
Everybody knows
Charlie Parker loves me
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 hero Will
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
I'm your street corner Romeo Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Charlie Parker loves me
Somewhere out where the fates collide
Everybody knows
Everybody knows Charlie Parker loves me
I'm your street corner Romeo I'm your street corner Romeo
You're my Juliet in Rage Everybody knows,
everybody knows
Charlie Parker loves me I'm Charlie Parker loves me
