This is how men cry [and Charlie Parker loves me]

(Spoken intro still not posted)*

Silent as a willow tree

This road moves like a river to me

Sun goes down on Wisdom Street

Break the glass and throw away the key

Somewhere out where the fates collide

Cigarettes and candlelight

I sit here in the lone cafe

So stripped away (oh, oh)

So stripped away

Ah, huh...

Huh... huh

Oh, ah, oh, ah

Everybody knows

I'm your street corner Romeo

Everybody knows

You're my Juliet in rags

And Charlie Parker loves me

Sit with me forever more

Is the draft too cold when they open door

Seem to me whenever you're drunk

And we'll drift away, drift away (drift away)

Ah, huh...

Huh... huh

Oh, ah, oh, ah

Everybody knows (everybody)

I'm your street corner Romeo (oh, yeah)

Everybody knows

You're my Juliet in rags

And Charlie Parker loves me (ooh...)

I feel your heart beat underneath my skin

Like a New Orleans night

But the rain can't get in

So red-hot dig the beat up underneath a cool, cool night

And the glass moonlight of spring

Everybody knows (ooh:)

I'm your street corner Romeo (oh, yeah)

Everybody knows (know, yeah)

You're my Juliet in rags

Everybody knows (everybody knows)

I'm your street corner Romeo, yes, I am

(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Everybody knows (yeah)

You're my Juliet in rags

And Charlie Parker loves me (ooh:)

Everybody knows

(I'm listenin' to ya, Charlie)

I'm your street corner Romeo

(Bird is fly high tonight)

Everybody knows

Everybody knows

My Juliet in rags

Charlie Parker loves me

Everybody knows [yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah]

(Fly away, Charlie)

I'm your street corner Romeo-aca
