Anthony Mendez - Romeo Check lyrics

Horse gallops down the back pike, in the broad of day Romeo commands that stallion to change rein, down Broadway Woman fixed to a window ledge, prays softly for her hero to arrive While the infected junkiespray for well and beg quarters to survive She retired from her ledge of disappointment Battered Mother hits the casino town and gets her fill Driven from the hunger, never for the thrill Just collecting them checks to pay some bills, another Romeo check, we'll do just fine Romeo check, buy us a little time Tonight vacant hearts echoed a beat Romeo check, cash it in or hit the street Now, I've never learned something from a car that wouldn't start Just how to ride the bus and how to read the bus charts And I've never learned nothing from watching you on the block Just how the pimps treat the girls like cattle, keeping close stock But tonight call me Romeo, cause I'm coming for you I never claimed to be a hero Just a man doing something that's over due, I'm coming for you Romeo check, we'll do just fine Romeo check, buy us a little time Tonight vacant hearts echoed a beat Romeo check, cash it in or hit the street Atlantic City dreams never came true Darkness gets so black here, you can see the blues Round here folks don't believe anymore Casinos never know the time On the boards it's always a junkies time to score Romeo raises his sword and stabs his lover Believing some hearts still feel Drives his blade through the pain, in a last attempt Cupid'sdeal Romeo check, we'll do just fine Romeo check, buy us a little time Tonight vacant hearts echoed a beat Romeo check, cash it in or hit the street
