Romeo Is Bleeding
--words and music by Michael Stanley

I spoke with Jesus on the Internet
At least that's who he said he was
And I asked him 'bout his father
Why He allows the things He does
There was nothing for a moment
And then he wrote back "just because"

	So I guess you take the truth where you can find it
	Throw caution to the wind if you don't mind it
	And reel it all back in when they unwind it
	And try and stop the needing
	'Cause Romeo is bleeding...
	Romeo is bleeding...

You don't know what I know
'Cause if you did then you'd be me
And looking in the mirror
You might not like just what you see
Or get blinded by reflections as you fly closer than
Anyone should be

	To that place where the lies black out the sun
	And where your secrets have no other place to run
	And the falling of the curtain has begun
	And everyone is leaving
	'Cause Romeo is bleeding...
	Romeo is bleeding...

Oh and lovers find their solace in the shadows down
The blocks...
Like misdirected sailors who can't quite see the rocks...
Where the jagged expectations of matters of the
Heart...tear them apart...
They hear the sirens singing
Hey la ho la hey la ho la hey la ho la hey la ho la

	So I guess you take the truth where you can find it
	Throw caution to the wind if you don't mind it
	Yeah and reel it all back in when they unwind it
	And try and keep believing
	'Cause Romeo is bleeding...
	Romeo is bleeding...
	Romeo is bleeding...
	Romeo is bleeding...

	Hey la (can you hear the voices)
	Ho la (can you hear 'em singing)
	Hey la (singing sweet and low)
	Ho la 
	Hey la (now you raise your hand)
	Ho la (gonna take a stand now)
	Hey la (and follow where love goes)
	Ho la
	Hey la (come on, come on, come on)
	Ho la (come on, come on, come on)
	Hey la (come on, come on, Romeo)
