Synchronize your watches

Cos the party's just begun

He holds the gun

Close to the temple

Of his lovely

One and only

Foaming from the balcony

No one's listening in

We all tune out froth off and pull the blinds

It's all been done before

He's kicking crap across the floor

He's kicking her across the floor

He's kicking walls and windows, closet doors

Five years



All the next day nurses cry out

What's the deal now what the hell

He'll smile and say politely

Just an accident, she fell

She surely falls a lot

Five years



He seemed like little Romeo

But now he's all she's got

Now he's all she knows

It's better than a life alone

Five years



One stormy sticky night

He came home a little late

She'd hung the chains up

Barred the windows

Built a barricade

A single finger

There was spray paint dripping down the door

She'd won the war and didn't need a second shot

She picked her spot and fired and we stood back and admired

Crowned her princess of our spire

We disposed of his remains

And when they ask me what became of romeo

I will tell them he's now playing as a flower on a grave

So very far away

So very far away

Five lives
