(G major) Caught between the twisted
stars the (D major) plotted lines the faulty map
that (C major) brought Columbus to New York
Betwix (G major) t between the East and west
he call (D major) s on her wearing a leather vest
the (C major) earth squeals and shudders to a halt
A (G major) diamond crucifix in his ear is
(D major) used to help ward off the Fear
that (C major) he has left his soul
in someone's rented car
In (G major) side his pants he hides a mop to
(D major) clean the mess that he has dropped
into the (C major) life of lithesome Juliette Bell
And Romeo (G major) wanted Juliette (D major)
(C major) And (G major) Juliette (D major)
(C major) wanted Romeo
(G major) Romeo Rodriguez squares
his shoulders (D major) and curses Jesus
runs a com (C major) b through
his black pony-tail
He's He's (G major) thinking of
his lonely room
the sink that (D major) by his bed gives off a stink
Then (C major) smells her perfume in his eyes
and her voice (G major) was like a bell (D major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (C major)
Out (G major) side the streets were steaming
the crack deal (D major) ers were dreaming
of an Uzi (C major) someone had just scored
I (G major) betcha I could hit that light with my
(D major) one good arm behind my back
says (C major) little Joey Diaz
(G major) Brother give me another tote those
(D major) downtown hoods are no (G major) damn (D major) good
those (C major) Italians need a lesson
to be taught
This cop (G major) who died in Harlem you
(D major) think they'd get the warnin'
I was dancing (C major) when his brains
ran out on the street
And (G major) Romeo had Juliette (D major)
And Ju (C major) liette had her Romeo (G major) (D major) (C major)
I'll take (G major) Manhattan in a garbage bag with
(D major) Latin written on it that says
"It's hard (C major) to give a shit
these days"
Manhat (G major) tan's sinking like a rock,
in (D major) to the filthy Hudson what a shock (C major)
they wrote a book about it,
they said it was like ancient Rome (G major)
The perfume burned his eyes (D major) hold (C major) ing
tightly to her thighs
and something flickered (G major) for a minute (D major) and then
it van (C major) ished and was gone
