Amphitheatre |
Found a hand in the sand |
Where they covered up the remnants |
Not enough to show the Joneses |
But should look good on our wall |
Not too clean, nicotine |
Really never saw a nail file; |
Still two others tried to claim it |
But I just swept past them all |
And the rain beats down on the amphitheatre |
Hear them sing, feel them swing: |
Aren’t you trembling with excitement? |
Can’t stop my pulse from racing |
When I’m faced with scenes like this |
Caesar lives, the Empire lives |
Must be twenty fires burning |
If the guard would loose the lions |
I would surely die in bliss |
And the rain beats down on the amphitheatre |
Do you like my cross, as it sparkles in the white light? |
Cut in solid silver, swinging round my neck |
Thousands died on them, millions died for one |
Impressive as … |
But we can’t sling a stake around your neck |
No, you can’t sling a stake around your neck |
Standing here, sipping beer: |
Aren’t we being rather tasteless? |
I’m ravenous with hunger |
Can’t we simply sneak back home? |
Harmless fools, gaping ghouls |
And they’ve never seen a car crash |
It’s raining and it’s raining |
Not a freak’s night out in Rome |
And the rain beats down on the amphitheatre |
Gazing down at the ground |
Where the flies move around my carcass |
Said you had to be a martyr |
To raise interest from a crowd |
But I can fly, I can fly |
If I could just see their faces |
As I glide between the planets |
Playing I-Spy from a cloud |
And the rain beats down on the amphitheatre |
