Ballad of the Hoodlum Priest - Willy DeVille

Oohh, oohh

The hoolum priest and his downtown Juliet

Swore to catch other that they would not forget

Whispering vows of love

They shared a cigarette

One look was all it took

They scaled 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 autowreck

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!
