Alphaville
"Romeos"

There's a boy
With a little black dog
There's a boy
With a little black dog
And he looks
At his watch
For a while

And the falling years
Wash away his make up
And the falling years
Wash away his make up
Just like rain
On the fading snow

He's a lonesome streetside romeo
You can see him from your windows tonite
This world's a divided place, you know
He's awaiting you
He's a lonesome streetside romeo
You can see him from your windows tonite
This world's a divided place, you know
He's awaiting you

All the boys
Are locked in a fortress
All the girls
Are locked in a fortress
Just because
It's a crime
It could be
It could be

Flesh and blood
In iron and steel
Flesh and blood
In iron and steel
Just because
It's a crime
It could be
It could be

We're all lonesome streetside romeos
You can see us from your windows tonite
This world's a divided place, you know
We're awaiting you
We're all lonesome streetside romeos
You can see us from your windows tonite
This world's a divided place, you know
We're awaiting you

We're all lonesome streetside romeos
You can see us from your windows tonite
This world's a divided place, you know
We're awaiting you
We're all lonesome streetside romeos
You can see us from your windows tonite
This world's a divided place, you know
We're awaiting you

La la la la la la la
We chose a different side
La la la la la la la
We chose a different side, a different side
(We're all lonesome streetside romeos)
We chose a different side
(This world's a divided place, you know)
We chose a different side, a different side
(We're all lonesome streetside romeos)
This world's a divided place, you know
(This world's a divided place, you know)
We're awaiting you, we're awaiting you
(We're all lonesome streetside romeos)
We chose a different side
We all change our points of view sometimes
We're awaiting you
You can see us from your windows tonite
A different side
A different side
(This world's a divided place, you know)
(We're awaiting you)
Awaiting you
