| [ti:Romeo Had Juliette (LP Version)] | |
| [ar:Lou Reed] | |
| [al:New York] | |
| [00:03.63] | Caught between the twisted stars |
| [00:21.96] | The plotted lines the faulty map |
| [00:24.25] | That brought Columbus to New York |
| [00:27.20] | |
| [00:27.60] | Betwixt between the East and West |
| [00:29.24] | He calls on her wearing a leather vest |
| [00:31.23] | The earth squeals and shudders to a halt |
| [00:33.77] | |
| [00:34.61] | A diamond crucifix in his ear |
| [00:36.81] | Is used to help ward off the fear |
| [00:38.61] | That he has left his soul in someone's rented car |
| [00:42.20] | |
| [00:42.65] | Inside his pants he hides a mop |
| [00:43.99] | To clean the mess that he has dropped |
| [00:45.98] | Into the life of lithesome Juliette Bell |
| [00:48.67] | |
| [00:49.07] | And Romeo wanted Juliette |
| [00:51.36] | And Juliette wanted Romeo |
| [00:55.20] | And Romeo wanted Juliette |
| [00:58.83] | And Juliette wanted Romeo |
| [01:02.42] | |
| [01:03.12] | Romeo Rodriguez squares |
| [01:06.45] | His shoulders and curses Jesus |
| [01:07.90] | Runs a comb through his black pony-tail |
| [01:10.99] | |
| [01:11.39] | He's thinking of his lonely room |
| [01:12.93] | The sink that by his bed gives off a stink |
| [01:15.48] | Then smells her perfume in his eyes |
| [01:18.22] | And her voice was like a bell |
| [01:20.56] | |
| [01:21.15] | Outside the streets were steaming |
| [01:34.85] | The crack dealers were dreaming |
| [01:36.49] | Of an Uzi someone had just scored |
| [01:38.68] | |
| [01:39.13] | I betcha I could hit that light |
| [01:42.36] | With my one good arm behind my back |
| [01:44.45] | Says little Joey Diaz |
| [01:46.40] | |
| [01:46.94] | Brother give me another tote |
| [01:49.74] | Those downtown hoods are no damn good |
| [01:52.28] | Those Italians need a lesson to be taught |
| [01:54.23] | |
| [01:54.83] | This cop who died in Harlem |
| [01:56.92] | You think they'd get the warnin' |
| [01:58.62] | I was dancing when I saw his brains run out on the street |
| [02:01.31] | |
| [02:01.75] | And Romeo had Juliette |
| [02:05.04] | And Juliette had her Romeo |
| [02:08.13] | And Romeo had Juliette |
| [02:11.82] | And Juliette had her Romeo |
| [02:15.70] | |
| [02:16.44] | I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag |
| [02:18.98] | With Latin written on it that says |
| [02:20.62] | "It's hard to give a shit these days" |
| [02:22.67] | |
| [02:23.31] | Manhattan's sinking like a rock |
| [02:25.85] | Into the filthy Hudson what a shock |
| [02:28.59] | They wrote a book about it |
| [02:29.88] | They said it was like ancient Rome |
| [02:32.12] | |
| [02:32.63] | The perfume burned his eyes |
| [02:35.12] | Holding tightly to her thighs |
| [02:37.70] | And something flickered for a minute |
| [02:41.29] | And then it vanished and was gone |
