Jill Sobule - The Couple on the Street lyrics

He was pulling deep on a cigarette Billows of smoke pouring out of him Like a freighter hit by a torpedo before the fire reached the hull And she was hanging on to him Like he was a life raft Not willing to believe that the ship was sinking But it looked to us like the ship was sinking We both agreed, we'd never be The couple on the street So rosy-cheeked and fresh and horny On our way to the movies When you told me for the first time that you loved me And I knew that you loved me And it was like we were together in another life We never parted; love never died Although I don't really buy that stuff Today I'll believe You and me, we'll never be The couple on the street You and me, we'll never be The couple on the street Like a still life (Still life) Of our worst fears (Of our worst fears) Like the seven years (Seven years) Of a broken mirror Like the flip side (Flip side) Of a beautiful dream (Beautiful dream) I love you so much Won't you tell me please We'll never be The couple on the street Okay, okay, it's one year later (I don't have an ending) And I still haven't written an ending to this song (Look, I wrote this song a year ago) I tried (I was inspired, I was in love) The inspiration...is gone (Never made it happen) Guess we'll never be the couple on the street (Never) End of story Eight months later, where are we? Somewhere between then And the couple on the street
