Rome Lyrics


Les Savy Fav Rome

We're in a great deal of trouble
For just a wee bit of fun
Upon kissing the princess
She turned into a stun gun
The young ones wait in the fields
Hoping that their Detroit will heal

It's amazing how sentimental they get
When they realize
We're taking it away
God knows who builds Rome today

Seating Caesar in the mezzanine
His cloak is soaked in methylene blue-
Light special in the red-light district
There's a blue-light special in the red-light district!

I went from postmodern protégé
To postmodern passé
Wretched from the get-go
Passion's so retro
Big spenders stand down
The fashion of forgo has taken the town

We're in a great deal of trouble
For just a wee bit of fun
Upon taking to the skies
We burnt up in the sun

The standards at the office have been changed;
A sneaky pact has been arranged
If you prefer insurance to the plague
Then take it out, put it away
Born in a bang in a house up in flames
The dead snake system remains
Born in a bang in a house up in flames
Take it out. Take it away
