Roman Candles Lyrics


Hard Working Americans Roman Candles

[Verse 1]
Spread neck speed ball way to high way
Needle is broken no telling on gas

A highway dog plays a Russian roulette
In and out of the sun under the overpass

[Chorus]
Why on Earth?
They say only Heaven knows
Why we turn every last word ever heard
On each other over where everybody goes
I know, I think therefore I am because
I am or so I thought I was

But when in Rome they say
"Shoot Roman Candles" that way
Nobody thinks you're crazy

[Verse 2]
Passing it back and forth like a fifth of July
I realize I can't tell you what to tell yourself

But if we're still not what you thought you wanted
Well, you can't deny it we were something else

(Oooh…my love)

[Chorus]
Why on Earth?
They say only Heaven knows
Why we turn every last word ever heard
On each other over where everybody goes
I know, I think therefore I am because
I am or so I thought I was

But when in Rome they say
"Shoot Roman Candles" that way
Nobody thinks you're crazy

(guitar solo)

[Verse 3]
We don't leave who we fell for
We leave who we can't believe they have become

(Oooh…my love)

Leaving I don't mind as much getting left behind

[Chorus]
Why on Earth?
They say only Heaven knows
Why we turn every last word ever heard
On each other over where everybody goes
I know, I think therefore I am because
I am or so I thought I was

But when in Rome they say
"Shoot Roman Candles" that way
Nobody thinks you're crazy

...you're crazy
Nobody thinks you're crazy
