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 junkies pray 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's deal

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
