Synchronize your watches   Cos the party's just begun   He holds the gun   Close to the temple   Of his lovely   One and only   Foaming from the balcony   No one's listening in   We all tune out froth off and pull the blinds   It's all been done before   He's kicking crap across the floor   He's kicking her across the floor   He's kicking walls and windows, closet doors   Five years      All the next day nurses cry out   What's the deal now what the hell   He'll smile and say politely   Just an accident, she fell   She surely falls a lot   Five years      He seemed like little Romeo   But now he's all she's got   Now he's all she knows   It's better than a life alone   Five years      One stormy sticky night   He came home a little late   She'd hung the chains up   Barred the windows   Built a barricade   A single finger   There was spray paint dripping down the door   She'd won the war and didn't need a second shot   She picked her spot and fired and we stood back and admired   Crowned her princess of our spire   We disposed of his remains   And when they ask me what became of romeo   I will tell them he's now playing as a flower on a grave   So very far away   So very far away   Five lives
