lyrics

Renzo
was Caravaggio's
best boy
he worked in the studio
and after work
down where the boys go
money and love
the holy church and the street

night time
is chiaroscuro
when boys
from the old neighborhood
go looking for love
down by the Tiber
a knife and a song
your money or your life

Renzo
loved Caravaggio
but true love
is never an easy thing when
wine and and great art
a knife in the dark
and the old man laughs
you better get out of the way
