Romeo is bleeding but not so as you'd notice[00:00:17]
He's over on 18hh street as usual[00:00:21]
Lookin' so hard against the hood of his car[00:00:25]
And puttin' out a cigarette in his hand[00:00:29]
And for all the pachucos at the pumps[00:00:33]
At romeros paint and body[00:00:35]
They all seein' how far they can spit[00:00:38]
Well it was just another night[00:00:39]
But how they're huddled in the brake lights of a 58 belair[00:00:41]
And listenin' to how romeo killed a sherrif his knife[00:00:45]
And they all jump when they hear the sirens[00:00:49]
But romeo just laughs and says[00:00:52]
All the racket in the world ain't never gonna[00:00:54]
Save that coppers ass[00:00:56]
He'll never see another summertime for gunnin' down my brother[00:00:58]
And leavin' him like a dog beneath a car without his knife[00:01:02]
And romeo says hey man gimme a cigarette[00:01:06]
And they all reach for their pack[00:01:08]
And frankie lights it for him and pats him on the back[00:01:10]
And throws bottle at a milk truck[00:01:14]
And as it breaks he grabs his nuts[00:01:17]
And they all know they could be just like romeo[00:01:19]
If they only had the guts[00:01:20]
But romeo is bleeding but nobody can tell[00:01:23]
And he sings along with the radio[00:01:27]
With a bullet in his chest[00:01:29]
And he combs back his fenders[00:01:31]
And they all agree its clear[00:01:33]
That every thing is cool now that romeos here[00:01:35]
But romeo is bleeding[00:01:39]
And he winces now and then and he leans against[00:01:41]
The car doors and feels the blood in his shoes[00:01:46]
And someones crying in the phone booth[00:01:48]
At the 5 points by thestore[00:01:51]
Romeo starts his engine[00:01:53]
And wipes the blood off the door[00:01:54]
And he brodys through the signal[00:02:00]
With the radio full blast[00:02:02]
Leavin' the boys there hikin' up there chinos[00:02:04]
And they all try to stand like romeo[00:02:06]
Beneath the moon cut like a sickle[00:02:10]
And they're talkin' now in spanish about there hero[00:02:12]
But romeo is bleeding as he gives the man his ticket[00:03:19]
And he climbs to the balcony at the movies[00:03:23]
And he'll die without a wimper[00:03:27]
Like every heros dream[00:03:28]
Just an angel with a bullet[00:03:31]
And cagney on the screen[00:03:32]
