Romeo & Juliet (Live at Carnegie Hall, May 14, 2022)

[Verse 1]

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 that 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

[Bridge]

Then like the sound of thundering clouds on the mountain

Bullets and shells where Juliet fell behind the hotel in the garbage

[Verse 2]

Romeo's tears fell where he stood

Her body went limp, bricks mixed with her 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, one said

"Stay alert, confirm that the suspect is dead"

When they got close, she sat up and said

"Fuck you!", then pulled the pin on the grenades instead

[Bridge]

Then like the sound of thundering clouds on the mountain side

Fire's ablaze where Juliet laid behind the hotel in the garbage pile

[Verse 3]

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

[Bridge]

Just like the sound of thundering clouds on a mountain

Bullets and shells where Juliet fell behind the hotel in the garbage

[Verse 4]

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

Street's full of cop cars that somebody wrecked
