At The Point
|
Romeo & Juliet
|
|
|
A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsus serenade
|
Layin' everybody low
|
With a love song that he made
|
Finds a street light
|
Steps out of the shade
|
And says something like
|
You and me babe, how about it?
|
|
Juliet says hey it's Romeo
|
You nearly gave me a heart attack
|
He's underneath my window
|
She's singing, hey la my boyfriend's back
|
Shouldn't come around here, singing up to people like that
|
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
|
|
|
Juliet
|
The dice were loaded from the start
|
And I bet and you exploded into my heart
|
And I forget, I forget
|
The movie song
|
When you gonna realize
|
It was just that the time was wrong
|
Juliet...
|
|
|
Come up on different streets
|
But they're both the streets of shame
|
Both dirty, both mean
|
Yeah even the dream was just the same
|
And I dreamed your dream for you
|
And now your dream is real
|
So how can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
|
And you can fall for chains of silver
|
And you can fall for chains of gold
|
You can fall for pretty strangers
|
And the promises they hold
|
|
And you promised me everything
|
Yeah you promised me thick and thin
|
Now you just turn away and say
|
Romeo, yeah you know I used to have a scene with him
|
|
|
And Juliet
|
When we made love you used to cry
|
You said I'll love you like the stars above
|
I'm gonna love you til I die
|
And I forget, I forget
|
The movie song
|
When are you gonna realize
|
It was just that the time was wrong
|
Juliet...
|
|
|
And I can't do the talk
|
Like the talk on the TV
|
And I can't do a love song
|
Like the way it's meant to be
|
All I can do is kiss you
|
Through the bars of Orion
|
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you anytime
|
|
|
Juliet
|
When we made love you used to cry
|
You said I'll love you like the stars above
|
I'll love you til I die
|
You said there's a place for us
|
You know the movie song
|
When you gonna realize, it was just that the timing was wrong
|
Juliet...
|
|
|
A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsus serenade
|
He's laying everybody low
|
With a love song that he made
|
Finds a street light
|
Steps out of the shade
|
And says something like
|
You and me babe, how about it?
