He was pullin' deep on his cigarette
Billows smoke pourin' out of him
Like a Fredo hit by a torpedo
Before the fire reached the hold
She was hanging on to him like he was a raft
We're into believe that the ship was sinkin'
But it looked to us like the ship was sinkin'

We both agreed
We'd never be the couple on the street
Right on us

Were 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, never be the couple on the street
You and me, we'll never be the couple on the street

Like a still life of our worst fears
Like the seven years of a broken mirror
Flip side of a beautiful dream
I love you so much won't you tell me please?

We'll never be the couple on the street
Never couple on the street

{Okay, okay, it's one year later
I don't have an ending, I still have no ending
Look I wrote this song a year ago
The inspired on love on this relation
I guess we'll never be the couple on the street
End of story}

Eight months later, we'll be
Someone between them
Who covered longest dream
Never be, never be
