[ti:Romeo Had Juliette] |

[ar:Lou Reed] |
|
[al:] |
| [00:00.00] |
Caught between the twisted stars |
| [00:22.43] |
The plotted lines the faulty map |
| [00:24.14] |
That brought columbus to New York |
| [00:27.88] |
Betwixt between the east and west |
| [00:29.56] |
He calls on her wearing a leather vest |
| [00:31.64] |
The earth squeals and shudders to a halt |
| [00:35.14] |
A diamond crucifix in his ear |
| [00:36.98] |
Is used to help ward off the fear |
| [00:38.86] |
That he has left his soul in someone's rented car |
| [00:42.61] |
Inside his pants he hides a mop |
| [00:44.39] |
To clean the mess that he has dropped |
| [00:46.21] |
Into the life of lithesome juliette bell |
| [00:49.72] |
And romeo wanted juliette |
| [00:53.21] |
And juliette wanted romeo |
| [00:57.10] |
And romeo wanted juliette |
| [01:00.40] |
And juliette wanted romeo |
| [01:05.01] |
Romeo rodriguez squares |
| [01:06.53] |
His shoulders and curses jesus |
| [01:07.68] |
Runs a comb through his black pony-tail |
| [01:11.98] |
He's thinking of his lonely room |
| [01:13.64] |
The sink that by his bed gives off a stink |
| [01:15.61] |
Then smells her perfume in his eyes |
| [01:18.76] |
And her voice was like a bell |
| [01:33.95] |
Outside the street were steaming the crack |
| [01:35.72] |
Dealers were dreaming |
| [01:37.34] |
Of an uzi someone had just scored |
| [01:41.41] |
I betcha I could hit that light |
| [01:43.19] |
With my one good arm behind my back |
| [01:45.00] |
Says little joey diaz |
| [01:48.80] |
Brother give me another tote |
| [01:50.57] |
Those downtown hoods are no damn good |
| [01:52.53] |
Those italians need a lesson to be taught |
| [01:55.89] |
This cop who died in harlem |
| [01:57.70] |
You think they'd get the warnin' |
| [01:59.25] |
I was dancing when his brains run out on the street |
| [02:03.29] |
And romeo had juliette |
| [02:06.79] |
And juliette had her romeo |
| [02:10.54] |
And romeo had juliette |
| [02:14.04] |
And juliette had her romeo |
| [02:17.88] |
I'll take manhattan in a garbage bag |
| [02:19.71] |
With latin written on it that says |
| [02:21.37] |
"it's hard to give a shit these days" |
| [02:24.92] |
Manhattan's sinking like a rock |
| [02:26.75] |
Into the filthy hudson what a shock |
| [02:29.44] |
They wrote a book about it |
| [02:30.24] |
They said it was like ancient rome |
| [02:33.33] |
The perfume burned his eyes |
| [02:36.01] |
Holding tightly to her thighs |
| [02:39.26] |
And something flickered for a minute |
| [02:42.29] |
And then it vanished and was gone |
