AmHands in your pEmockets
Like Fplugs Cin their sockets
AmRoses and rocEmkets

Well I’m walking through the station

But I can’t find your face

Past the daughters of Sheba

And the puppets and parades

Under skies that have witnessed

Countless conquerors and slaves

Just another bloodless Monday morning in Rome

Every bar’s a benediction

Singing all our thoughts these days lead to Rome

Vows of engagement

Dreams and amazement

The pigeons and pavement

Through the long nights of ruin

To the mornings made of gold

We rise and we fall that way in Rome

Every monolith that crumbles

Every empty glass of wine

Every smirking Sistine cupid

Every punctured valentine

Is a living, breathing monument

To the days of our decline

Winter, Spring, and Summer fall in Rome

Am Em

Hands in your pockets

Like plugs in their sockets

Am Em

Roses and rockets

That world is dead and gone

I hit the sack at 3am

Am G F

When your key hit the door

C G C

Your sweet eye wanders, my heart roams

I don’t know why we still call this place home

When we rose our love fell in Rome
