There's a boy, with a little black dog
There's a boy, with a little black dog
And he looks at his watch for a while
And the falling years wash away his make up
And the falling years wash away his make up
Just like rain on the fading snow

He's a lonesome streetside Romeo
You can see him from your window tonight
This world's a divided place, you know
He's awaiting you

All the boys are locked in a fortress
All the girls are locked in a fortress
Just because it's a crime, it could be
It could be
Flesh and blood in iron and steel
Flesh and blood in iron and steel
Just because it's a crime, it could be
It could be

We're all lonesome streetside Romeos
You can see us from your window tonight
This world's a divided place, you know
We're awaiting you

We're all lonesome streetside Romeos
This world's a divided place, you know
We're awaiting you, we're awaiting you
We all change our points of view, sometimes
You can see us from your window, tonight

We're awaiting you
Awaiting you
