Bilingual
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 their 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 pew
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 play piano even if it's out of tune
I'll play 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 their picture
They left like a lover
They left like a mystery
They left and kissed me
