40 Dogs

Bob Schneider

Well if I spell it out 
If I get it out 
Will you hear me when I tell you about
What I have to say before it gets to late 
It's not as easy as they said it'd be 
But there's something right about you and me
Something right about you and me

Well you're the color of a burning brook
You're the color of a sideways look from an undercover 
cop in a comic book
You're the color of a storm in June
You're the color of the moon
You're the color of the night that's right
The color of a fiery moonbeam 
You're the color of the colored part of the Wizard of 
Oz movie

We're like Romeo and Juliet
We're like forty dogs, cigarettes
We're like good times that haven't happened yet, but 
will
I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls into the sea
We'll be livin' ever after happily

All the boys taking you for granted
Tell you 'bout the world
But with their eyes are all slanted.
I don't like the way they look at you
I don't like the way they talk to
I don't like the way they talk to you
I wouldn't let them talk to you like that

Put 'em up high, reach for the ceiling
Tell them I don't walk 
Damnit im reelin' 
It ain't no crime its just dreams we're stealing 
Anything to get more of this feeling
You take the high and I'll take the low
Well get there before you know 
We ain't got no time to waste 
We got too much life to taste

We're like Romeo and Juliet
We're like forty dogs, cigarettes
We're like good times that haven't happened yet, but 
will
I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls into the sea
We'll be livin' ever after happily

Sometimes you remind me of a moonbeam 
Or the ghost of a moonbeam
Out on the beach down by the coast 
Slippin' through the net like the most beautiful thing 
ive ever seen

Come out tonight 
Come out with me baby 
We'll throw the careful into the crazy 
Turn the sky black into a sky blue
Turn a close shave into a woo hoo
What I say is true
Make a fire gotta burn a few
Make a fire gotta burn a few
We can do what we want to do

We're like Romeo and Juliet
We're like forty dogs, cigarettes
We're like good times that haven't happened yet, but 
will
I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls into the sea
We'll be livin' ever after happily
