Lyrics - Romeo Had Juliette by Reed Lou

Caught between the twisted stars the plotted lines the faulty mapthat brought
Columbus to
New
York
Betwixt between the
East and west he calls on her wearing a leather vestthe earth squeals and shudders to a halt
A diamond crucifix in his ear is used to help ward off the
Fearthat he has left his soul in someone's rented car
Inside his pants he hides a mop to clean the mess that he has droppedinto the life of lithesome
Juliette
Bell
And
Romeo wanted
Juliette
And
Juliette wanted
Romeo
Romeo
Rodriguez squares his shoulders and curses
Jesusruns a comb through his black pony-tail
He's thinking of his lonely roomthe sink that by his bed gives off a stink
Then smells her perfume in his eyesand her voice was like a bell
Outside the streets were steaming the crack dealers were dreamingof an
Uzi someone had just scored
I betcha
I could hit that light with my one good arm behind my backsays little
Joey
Diaz
Brother give me another tote those downtown hoods are no damn goodthose
Italians need a lesson to be taught
This cop who died in
Harlem you think they'd get the warnin'
I was dancing when his brains ran out on the street
And
Romeo had
Juliette
And
Juliette had her
Romeo
I'll take
Manhattan in a garbage bag with
Latin written on it that says"
It's hard to give a shit these days"
Manhattan's sinking like a rock, into the filthy
Hudson what a shockthey wrote a book about it, they said it was like ancient
Rome
The perfume burned his eyes holding tightly to her thighsand something flickered for a minute and then it vanished and was gone
