Just a week ago they were happy
Playing Romeo and Juliet
Life was like a stage full of colored lights
Painted moons and sweet romance.
The show is over it was fun
You could bring the curtains down
It’s time to take a final bow
It’s over now.
Romeo walks home, rents a foreign film
Juliet drinks wine with her friend
Kings and fools asleep
And Shakespeare is writing better plays with a happy end.
