it's just a heartbeat 
loud 
in a small apartment 
loud 
in another life 
another 

and Romeo won't understand 'til she 
yield in the palm of his hand 
Juliet turn the TV on and 
wait 
'til the night is over 

somebody phone 
somebody ring the doorbell 
no-one home 

and Romeo won't understand 'til he 
 [bad word] blood in the palm of his hand 
Juliet turn the TV down and 
sleep 
'til the morning's over 

'til the boy is gone 
'til the body's gone 
'til the boy is gone 

somebody phone 
somebody ring the doorbell 
no-one home 

one romeo down
