staring across the floor
love is stale caffeine
love is a tragedy
slamming another door
love is nicotine
and he could light his cigarette,
and wait here for her silhouette
but he’s not Romeo, oh no
and she’s not Juliet
love was a magazine
promising so much more
love was seventeen
but love is a cold machine
slip through the back screen-door
love is so unclean
and she could light her cigarette,
and wait here for his silhouette
but he’s not Romeo, oh no
and she’s not Juliet
gonna break this habit
leave that light on down the hall
gonna break this habit
once and for all
love is another scene
spilling across the floor
love is gasoline…
but he’s not Romeo, oh no
and she’s not Juliet
lyrics: “Romeo and Juliet II”
Dave Thompson, “found.Wanting.”
