[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
