Lyrics for Romeo Had Juliette by LOU REED:
| | | Artist: | LOU REED |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Romeo Had Juliette | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 73 | | | | Lyrics: | Caught between the twisted stars the plotted lines the faulty map
that brought Columbus to New
York
Betwixt between the East and West he calls on her wearing a leather vest
the earth
squeals and shudders to a halt
A diamond crucifix in his ear is used to help ward off the
Fear
that he has left his soul in someone's rented car
Inside his pants he hides a mop to
clean the mess that he has dropped
into the life of lithesome Juliette Bell
And Romeo
wanted Juliette and Juliette wanted Romeo
And Romeo wanted Juliette and Juliette wanted
Romeo
Romeo Rodriguez squares his shoulders and curses Jesus
runs a comb through his
black pony-tail
He's thinking of his lonely room
the sink that by his bed gives off a
stink
Then smells her perfume in his eyes and her voice was like a bell
Outside the
street were steaming the crack dealers were dreaming
of an Uzi someone had just scored
I
betcha I could hit that light with my one good arm behind my back
says little Joey
Diaz
Brother give me another tote those downtown hoods are no damn good
those 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 run out on the street
And Romeo had Juliette and Juliette had her
Romeo
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 shock
they wrote a book
about it, they said it was like ancient Rome
The perfume burned his eyes, holding tightly to her
thighs
and something flickered for a minute and then it vanished and was gone | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
