let's draw to love the scenery on.
[A] Between the east and west, [E] he comes to her wearing a leather [D] vest.
They heard the screams and shut us to a hall.
[Bm] [A] A diamond toothpick in [E] his ear is used to help ward off [D] the fear that he has
lost the soul of someone's rented car.
[A] Inside his pants he hides [E] a mop to clean the mess that he [D] has brought into the
life of, like some Juliet Belle.
[A] And Romeo wanted Juliet.
[E]
[D] And Juliet wanted her Romeo.
[A] And Romeo wanted [E] Juliet.
[D] Juliet wanted her Romeo.
[A] Romeo Rodriguez [E] scares his soldiers, curses Jesus, [D] runs his hand through his black ponytail.
[A] He's looking around his dirty [E] room, they say goodbye, the bed gives off a [D] scent
and it smells of perfume in his eyes.
Voices like a bell.

someone had to score.
[A] I bet you I could hit that [E] light with my one good arm behind my [D] back, says little Joey Diaz.
[A] His brother give me another talk, [E] you know those downtown hoods are no [D] damn
good, those Italians need a lesson of his heart.
[A] That cop who died in Harlem, [E] I hope he got the one and I was [D] laughing when his
brains run in the street.
[A] And Romeo wanted Juliet.

[A] I'll take Manhattan in a garbage [E] bag with a Latin writ on it that says, [D] it's
hard to give a shit these days.
[A] Manhattan's sinking like a rocket [E] through the filthy Hudson water shop.
[D] They wrote a book about it, they said it's like ancient Rome.
[A] The perfume [E] burns his eyes.
[D] Old intention to her [A] size.
And something flickered for a minute.

And [D] then it vanished and was gone.
