Michael Penn - No Myth

What if I were Romeo in black jeans

And can dance like Astaire overseas, okay

With knots I've got yet to untie

What if I were Romeo in black jeans

We, we said goodbye before hello

Maybe she's just looking for

'Less he speaks Chinese

So, she says it's time she goes

I'll catch the first junk to Soho

Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees

What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth

But didn't think to ask her why

What if I were Romeo in black jeans

What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth

Someone to dance with

See, it was just too soon to tell

And looking for some parallel

Can be an endless game

My secrets she will never know

And if I dig a hole to China

What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth

Maybe she's just looking for

Someone to dance with

Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure

I'm between the poles and the equator
