Ballad of the Hoodlum Priest Songtext

von Willy DeVille

Oohh, oohh
The hoodlum priest and his downtown Juliet
Swore to each other that they would not forget
Whispering vows of love
They shared a cigarette
One look was all it took
They sealed it with a kiss now
The hoodlum priest and his Juliet
Clung to each other on the outside of the world
Lovers will understand and always will
Something so precious in the middle of the jungle

Love is blind, only those who see know
That's the glory to this feeling called love
That's the glory to this feeling called love
That's the glory of this feeling called love
That's the glory of this feeling called love

Summer nights
On the city sidewalks wet
The street lights glow
And where neon signs reflect
In the broken glass, garbage cans and auto wrecks
Lovers stroll and on the crowded
Stoops they kiss

Now love is blind, only those who see know
All I know is how I feel, that's all I know
She's all I see when I'm with her
Someone who took my heart
That I can trust

That's the glory yeah! (4 x)

Love is blind, only those who see know
That's the glory to this feeling called love
That's the glory to this feeling called love
That's the glory to this feeling called love
That's the glory to this feeling called love

That's the glory yeah!
That's the glory yeah!
That's the glory yeah!
That's the glory yeah! etc.
