lyrics

Cyrano was oblivious as Juliet packed and left
And made her way cross Walkentalken Bridge
Her good-bye note didn’t say much
Had to go, enough’s enough
P.S. there’s pork chops in the fridge
She used to love his swordplay
Love his poems and prose
Recently all she sees is nose
Cyrano and Juliet were once as close as two can get
Long before the stars were all torn down

Hey Jules it’s Cyrano
It’s dinnertime turn on your phone
I’m at the house I’ve got the table set
Where for art thou Juliet

Don Quixote called to say
“Just give her time, it’ll be OK
There’s hills and mills and valleys to fight and climb”
But Cyrano, the old gambling man
Said “I got this far with a lousy hand
And bluffing just gets tougher over time”
Seven years was itchy, fifteen years was numb
I don’t know where she found the strength to run

Hey Jules it’s Cyrano
It’s midnight turn on your phone
I can’t sleep in this enormous bed
I know that I’m no Romeo
As far as aging husbands go
But I swear to God you ain’t seen nothing yet
Where for art thou Juliet

They swore for health and sickness
They swore for rich and poor
I guess it doesn't matter anymore

Cyrano de Bergerac
Puts on his sword and his white plumed hat
And heads down to Beginagain Saloon

Hey Jules it’s Cyrano
It’s 2 am I just got home
A little drunk and I’m not finished yet
No monologue, no third act
No tragic twist, no poison asp
Just one more drink and another cigarette
Where for art thou Juliet
