A                               
Caught between the twisted stars, 
   E
the plotted lines, the faulty map
           D
That brought Columbus to New York
A                                  
Betwixt between the East and West, 
E
he calls on her wearing a leather 
vest
           D
The earth squeals and shudders to a 
halt
A                              
A diamond crucifix in his ear is 
    E
used to help ward off the fear
          D
That he has left his soul in 
someone's rented car
A                                  
Inside his pants he hides a mop to 
E
clean the mess that he has dropped
Continúa después del anuncio
          D
Into the life of lithesome Juliette 
Belle

A                           
And Romeo wanted Juliette and 
       E                D
Juliette wanted Romeo
A                           
And Romeo wanted Juliette and 
       E                D
Juliette wanted Romeo

A                         
Romeo Rodriguez squares his 
         E
shoulders and curses Jesus
        D
Runs a comb through his black 
ponytail
A                                 
He's thinking of his lonely room, 
E
the sink by his bed gives off a 
stink
       D
Then smells her perfume in his eyes 
and her voice was like a bell

A                                
Outside the streets were steaming 
E
the crack dealers were dreaming
       D
Of an Uzi someone had just scored
A                                
"I bet you I could hit that light 
E
with my one good arm behind my back"
       D
Says Little Joey Diaz
A                               E
Brother give me another tote, those 
downtown hoods are no damn good
      D
Those Italians need a lesson to be 
taught
A                              E
This cop who died in Harlem, you'd 
think they'd get the warning
      D
I was dancing when his brains run 
out on the street

A                                
And Romeo had Juliette and 
E                D
Juliette had her Romeo
A                          
And Romeo had a Juliette and 
      E                D
Juliette had a Romeo

A                                
I'll take Manhattan in a garbage 
E
bag, with Latin written on it that 
says
      D
"It's hard to give a shit these 
days"
A                               E
Manhattan's sinking like a rock into
 the filthy Hudson, what a shock
      D
They wrote a book about it, they 
said it was like ancient Rome

A                               E
The perfume burned his eyes, holding
 tightly to her thighs
      D                         E
And something flickered for a minute
 and then it vanished and was gone
