Ryan Adams - Romeo & Juliet lyrics
[Ryan Adams - Romeo & Juliet lyrics]
Nodding off in the alley with a lit cigarette
Looks like her hair caught on fire for a sec
Streets full of cop cars
Like somebody wrecked
Juliet looks up and sees Romeo
In her camouflage pants and dirty poncho
Extending her arm, she flips him the bird
Blows him a kiss, and winks as she turns
Didn't like the sound of thundering
Clouds in the mountain
Bullets and shells where Juliet fell
Behind the hotel garbage
Romeo's tears fell where he stood
Her body went limp where it
Mixed with the blood
The detective looked up and saw Romeo
He just nodded his head like
To tell him to go
Approaching her body with guns drawn unsaid
Stay alert, confirm that the suspect is dead
When they got close, she said up and said
"Fuck you!" then pulled the pin
On the grenades instead
Didn't like the sound of thundering
Clouds in the mountain side
Fire's ablaze where Juliet laid behind the
Hotel in the garbage pile
Since then nobody's seen Romeo
Found the diamond bags empty on
A pier by the boats
Put your ear to the wind
And you'll hear the sound
Of Puerto Morelos where he settled down
Just like the sound of thundering
Clouds in the mountain
Bullets and shells where Juliet fell behind
The hotel garbage in the garbage
Romeo looks down and sees Juliet
Nodding off in the alley with a lit cigarette
Looks like her hair caught on fire for a sec
Streets full of cop cars
Like somebody wrecked
