Remember how Romeo went to the apothecary (drug dealer) to get the poison?
In one of the final scenes, after romeo had been out of the town for a several weeks "mourning" or whatever, he went to see this apothecary to get a vial of poison because he thought juliet was already dead; He planned on killing himself in her tomb.
Well i think "Mr. Jones" may in some way serve as a representation of a modern day version of the apothecary, seeing as in the same stanza he also says "I think we would look great dead". Mr Jones Is going to medicate him some how.
Idk, just a thought. That seems to be the part that throws people off the most.
I think if this is really about romeo, the strange phone calls from the city part could be when he was exiled to Mantua and he received word from balthasar that juliet had died... Like he didn't want to believe it.
I think if you read the sparknotes on it some parts of this song make a lot more sense.
