Romeo... Walks the city at night The tall dark buildings cast a ghostly shadow in his burning eyes Oh Romeo... Roam Romeo... Romeo roam... Roam romeo... Yeah... Romeo...

He's still alone... Oh Romeo... Roam Romeo... Romeo roam... Yeah... Romeo... Around the corner there's nothing there Juliet! Whoa! Cause there's no Juliet!
