lyrics

She says, "Don't do nothing stupid,"
She sure does know me so,
Then she gives the mark to Cupid,
"Shoot down this Romeo."

And the stars tumble like a curtain,
As this tragic scene just closes,
As my heart-filled throat starts choking,
As my white blouse blooms with roses,
Down goes the Sun,
Man, what is dead is done.

My eyes are on the ceiling,
And my back is on the sand,
The audience is reeling,
Bleeding out a baby grand.

While the coroner confirms the kill,
While the priest begins proceedings,
While she blocks my number from her phone
To keep me from a appealing,
She always was so sensible
Even now while she's leaving,
One more kiss before I go,
Would that be so demeaning?
A cherry-flavoured signature to nullify our dealings.

Pluck that arrow from your side,
Leave not a trace of me behind,
These smoky clouds, this dark sad night,
Now Paris is on fire.

My baby she shot me down,
While wrapped up in a wedding gown,
She unleashed this almighty frown,
Pulled a pistol from her garter.

Ooh,
I don’t know,
No Romeo.
