"Romeo's Distress" as written by and Rikk Agnew Rozz Williams....
Burning crosses on a nigger's lawn
Burning dollars
What's a house without a home?
Dance in your white sheet glory
Dance in your passion
Talk about sugar on the six fingered beast
Conversation about the holes in your hands
Walking the garden of men's desires
Conversation about the kingdom of fire
Conversation about the kingdom of fire
What's that moving in the basement?
What's that moving in the attic?
Who's that walking in the shadows?
Who's that walking in the streets?
Kiss on my hand
After dark
Hand for a kiss
After dark
Kiss on my hand
Kiss on my hand
Kiss on my hand
Romance in sequence
Harmful to the blind
Burning hearts
Through the top of your skull
Dance in your white sheet glory
Dance in your passion
Your days are numbered
With pretense in your pocket
Your days are numbered
With the love in your eyes
Love in your eyes
Love?
What's that moving in the basement?
What's that moving in the attic?
Who's that lying on the altar?
Who's that lying in the streets?
Kiss on my hand
After dark
Hand for a kiss
After dark
Kiss on my hand
Kiss on my hand
Kiss on my hand
Kiss on my hand
Pull down the sheets
Take off your clothes
Get out of bed
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
Pull down the sheets
And take off your clothes
Get out of bed
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
Burning dollars
What's a house without a home?
Dance in your white sheet glory
Dance in your passion
Talk about sugar on the six fingered beast
Conversation about the holes in your hands
Walking the garden of men's desires
Conversation about the kingdom of fire

I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I'm so tired

I'm think it could be about drug addiction and prostitution, but its only a guess really.
I think it might be about some kind of drug addiction or prostitution now that you mention it, but it is obvious it has a lot referring to Christianity, religion in general.
I think it might be that you will pay for your desires with sins, basically what christianity tells us, sinners go to hell etc.
Thats an approximation, and I'm tired tonight. Feel free to add or subract facts to this :) Ta dolls.
The KKK have a doomed, Southern Gothic romanticism about them (as well as the stupid opinions on race and religion) as I guess do Christian Stigmatics - both are a kind of faith taken too far, but in a an almost mystical sense, rather than just extremism.
There's something about the fall from Eden in this - that's how some in south see what's happed since the civil war. The kindgom of fire is a reference to hell and the lines around it suggest it's everywhere around us. Kiss on my hand is a romantic, courtly allusion but the way he sings it with the words dark and kiss rolling into one is rather Faustian. The dark kiss is given by or to the devil. The romance in sequence verse I think is easier to read at a literal level. You love, it ends, you move on to another burning heart. No wonder he's tired.
By the way, isn't it get "into" bed? The version given here makes no sense with the lines around it.
Probably the biggest clue that it's basically about an doomed love affair is the title - we all know what happened to the only famous Romeo...
D.
I always found Rozz's lyrics kind of cryptic...
So I have no idea =[
also, I think it's "with the love in your eyes", not "with l,love in your eyes", but I figure that's just a typo anyway.
Then the last bit talks about how they are blind and lovers. Now since they mention passion so many times in this... A love is kind of a passion no? Blind passion?
How about people being blinded in their passion so much that they think it is wonderful when it's actually ugly.
He also seems to question this "love" and how some will end, possibly that. Finally the whole bed thing at the end kind of bring to the mind that they are kind of i a dream world
