Romeo & Juliet

A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me babe, how 'bout it?"

Juliet says, "Hey it's Romeo, you nearly gimme a heart attack"
He's underneath the window; she's singing, "Hey, la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?"

Juliet, the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet, then you exploded in my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

We come up on different streets, both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

You can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
Now you just say, "Romeo, yeah, you know, I used to have a scene with him"

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til the day I die"
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talks like they talkin' on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way it used to be
And all I do is keep the beat, the rock 'n' roll company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie, your star's with you any time

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til the day I die"
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Romeo, he's got his serenade

Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
And says something like, "You and me babe, how 'bout it?"

Ist ja Wahnsinn hier
Vielen, vielen, vielen Dank
