The Killers - Romeo and Juliet


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87cLyBR1JTo

A lovestruck Romeo, sees the street's a serenade,
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made.
Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade,
Says something like 'You and me Babe, how about it?'

Juliet says "Hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me 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 was loaded from the start,
And I bet, that you exploded in my heart,
And I forget, I forget, the movie song.
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame.
Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same.
"Then 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?"

"When 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 'Oh 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 and I love you till I die',
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song.
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"

I can't do the talk, like the talk 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'd do anything for you.
I can't do anything except be in love you.

And all I do is miss you, and the way we used to be,
And all I do is keep the beat, the bad company.
All I do is kiss you, through the bars of Orion,
Juliet, I'd do the stars 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 till I die'
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song.
When you gonna realise, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"

A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade,
Laying everybody low, with a lovesong that he made.
He finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like 'You and me, Babe, how about it?'
