A E Caught between the twisted stars, the plotted lines, the faulty map D That brought Columbus to New York A E Betwixt between the East and West, he calls on her wearing a leather vest D The earth squeals and shudders to a halt A E A diamond crucifix in his ear is used to help ward off the fear D That he has left his soul in someone's rented car A E Inside his pants he hides a mop to clean the mess that he has dropped D Into the life of lithesome Juliette Belle A E D And Romeo wanted Juliette and Juliette wanted Romeo A E D And Romeo wanted Juliette and Juliette wanted Romeo A E Romeo Rodriguez squares his shoulders and curses Jesus D Runs a comb through his black pony-tail A E He's thinking of his lonely room, the sink by his bed gives off a stink D Then smells her perfume in his eyes and her voice was like a bell

A E Outside the streets were steaming the crack dealers were dreaming D Of an Uzi someone had just scored A E 'I bet you I could hit that light with my one good arm behind my back' D Says Little Joey Diaz A E Brother give me another tote, those downtown hoods are no damn good D Those Italians need a lesson to be taught A E This cop who died in Harlem, you'd think they'd get the warning D I was dancing when his brains run out on the street A E D And Romeo wanted Juliette and Juliette wanted Romeo A E D And Romeo wanted Juliette and Juliette wanted Romeo A E I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag, with Latin written on it that says D 'It's hard to give a shit these days' A E Manhattan's sinking like a rock into the filthy Hudson, what a shock D They wrote a book about it, they said it was like ancient Rome A E The perfume burned his eyes, holding tightly to her thighs D E And something flickered for a minute and then it vanished and was gone
