"Romeo Is Dead" lyrics - PETER WOLF

PETER WOLF
"Romeo Is Dead"

I used to follow wanting
Wherever it would lead me
A lot of lovers had me
When they really didn't need me
Fever in the blood
Fever in the brain
No one's walking out tonight
Down on lover's lane

Romeo is dead
Juliet is dying
Love and death
Has got this whole town crying
They believed the moon
The moon was lying
My heart is just a fool
And fools keep trying

I got a hundred dollars
Won't last me till the morning
If I spend it on you, baby
Will you catch me when I'm falling
Take a little pleasure
Take a little pain
Want to take a chance tonight
Down on lover's lane

Romeo is dead
Juliet is dying
Love and death
Has got this whole town crying
They believed the moon
The moon was lying
My heart is just a fool
And fools keep trying

Down at the end of the line
I got nothing to spend but my time
And it's flying, flying...
