Silent as a willow tree

This road moves like a, a river to me

Sun goes down on Wisdom Street

Break the glass and throw away the key



Somewhere out where the fates collide (collide)

Cigarettes and candlelight

I sit here in the lone cafe 

So stripped away (oh, oh)

So stripped away 



Ah, huh

Huhhuh

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

Huhhuh

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

Charlie Parker loves me



Everybody knows [yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah]

(Fly away, Charlie)

I'm your street corner Romeo

(I'm listenin' to ya, Charlie) [oh, yeah-eh]

Everybody knows 

(Everybody, everybody knows)

You're my Juliet in rags

And Charlie Parker loves me

Charlie Parker loves me

Charlie Parker loves me
