Ryan Adams Romeo & Juliet
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 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
Then like the sound of thundering clouds on the mountain
Bullets and shells where Juliet fell behind the hotel in the garbage
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
Then like the sound of thundering clouds on 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 on a mountain
Bullets and shells where Juliet fell behind the hotel 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
Street's full of cop cars like somebody wrecked
