lyrics

i saw you walking across the street.
one of those people from the end of town.
i saw you talking , your friend looked sweet,
a couple of tough guys... handsome boys.
but gravity keeps me on my feet
on my feet.

the words in the painting
i saw on the street,
said, "Robert and Richie in 1980".
i painted thier picture..
they left like a lover , they left like a mystery.
they left and kissed me.

i met you. and said you'd, look nice in a church phew.
and Jesus Christ smiled, when i loved you.
i'll take you home, and i'll paint your picture.
we'll take off our clothes. i'll hug you and kiss you...
a couple of tough guys.

i'll, i'll play piano
even if it's out of tune.
i'll make a song for you.
a song for you.

the words in the painting
i saw on the street,
said, "Robert and Richie in 1980”….
i painted there picture.
they left like a lover , they left like a mystery.
they left and kissed me.
