Romeo And Juliet (Live From Abbey Road / 2006) Lyrics

Romeo And Juliet - The Killers

...

"Romeo And Juliet"

(originally by Dire Straits)

A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets of serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

Find a streetlight, 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 realize, 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

And I dream 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?

Well, 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

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

I said, "I love you like the stars above, I love you 'til I die."

And there's a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realize, 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 'cept be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be

All I do is keep the beat and the bad company

And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme

Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry

I said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die."

And there's a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

A lovestruck Romeo, he sings the streets of serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade

He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
