Romeo & Juliet, the play, is set in Verona, an Italian city in the northeast of the country. The name of the city is here modified to make it sound closer to “venom”, a substance close to the poison responsible for Juliet’s coma and Romeo’s death. And it is sung from Juliet’s point of view, as s...

Your fingers are star-crossed lovers that can't seem to get enough of each other
This pantomime dialect doesn't practice what you preach

Might as well be blind with isolated eyes like mine

Your eyes
Speak well
Of you
Blur your eyes and
Bend the lines
Do you like what you see?
Oh, Romeo
