Romeo Had Juliette

[00:20.67] Caught between the twisted stars
[00:22.25] The plotted lines the faulty map
[00:24.53] That brought Columbus to New York
[00:28.24] Betwixt between the East and West
[00:29.69] He calls on her wearing a leather vest
[00:31.85] The earth squeals and shudders to a halt
[00:35.34] A diamond crucifix in his ear
[00:37.29] Is used to help ward off the fear
[00:39.18] That he has left his soul in someone's rented car
[00:43.06] Inside his pants he hides a mop
[00:44.70] To clean the mess that he has dropped
[00:46.57] Into the life of lithesome Juliette Bell
[00:50.06] And Romeo wanted Juliette
[00:53.64] And Juliette wanted Romeo
[00:57.14] And Romeo wanted Juliette
[01:00.88] And Juliette wanted Romeo
[01:04.70] Romeo Rodriguez squares
[01:06.82] His shoulders and curses Jesus
[01:08.39] Runs a comb through his black pony-tail
[01:12.15] He's thinking of his lonely room
[01:13.87] The sink that by his bed gives off a stink
[01:15.84] Then smells her perfume in his eyes
[01:18.92] And her voice was like a bell
[01:30.61] Outside the streets were steaming
[01:35.89] The crack dealers were dreaming
[01:37.74] Of an Uzi someone had just scored
[01:41.22] I betcha I could hit that light
[01:43.37] With my one good arm behind my back
[01:45.22] Says little Joey Diaz
[01:48.74] Brother give me another take
[01:50.89] Those downtown hoods are no damn good
[01:53.11] Those Italians need a lesson to be taught
[01:56.38] This cop who died in Harlem
[01:58.28] You think they'd get the warnin'
[01:59.69] I was dancing when I saw his brains run out on the street
[02:03.57] And Romeo had Juliette
[02:07.20] And Juliette had her Romeo
[02:10.72] And Romeo had Juliette
[02:14.52] And Juliette had her Romeo
[02:18.39] I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag
[02:19.97] With Latin written on it that says
[02:21.92] "It's hard to give a shit these days"
[02:24.87] Manhattan's sinking like a rock
[02:27.14] Into the filthy Hudson what a shock
[02:29.00] They wrote a book about it
[02:31.32] They said it was like ancient Rome
[02:33.47] The perfume burned his eyes
[02:36.31] Holding tightly to her thighs
[02:39.58] And something flickered for a minute
[02:42.84] And then it vanished and was gone
[02:53.49]
