Rome - Dan Bern[00:00:00]
We pulled into Rome[00:00:09]
With blood in our eyes[00:00:12]
After days of travelin'[00:00:14]
Months of lies[00:00:17]
Taking our various[00:00:19]
Turns at the wheel[00:00:22]
Taking booze[00:00:23]
And pot and cigarettes[00:00:25]
Anything not to feel[00:00:26]
No one had slept[00:00:31]
No one had eaten[00:00:33]
Our bodies were bad[00:00:36]
Our spirits were beaten[00:00:38]
Together we dragged[00:00:41]
All of us down[00:00:42]
As we staggered through Rome[00:00:45]
Blaming the town[00:00:48]
Blaming the students[00:00:50]
For worship of others[00:00:52]
Blaming the cops[00:00:55]
And blaming their brothers[00:00:57]
And never quite looking[00:01:00]
Ourselves in the heart[00:01:02]
And minute by minute[00:01:04]
Growing further apart[00:01:06]
Julia Julia[00:01:09]
Where have you gone [00:01:12]
Why have you vanished[00:01:14]
Off of my lawn [00:01:16]
Julia Julia[00:01:19]
Where is your truck [00:01:21]
Where have you driven[00:01:23]
With all of my luck [00:01:26]
But even old bull fighters[00:01:30]
Their grave stones in sight[00:01:33]
Must search 'till they unearth[00:01:35]
One last bull to fight[00:01:38]
And so it was with us[00:01:40]
So near to the end[00:01:42]
One last story to tell[00:01:44]
One last hill to defend[00:01:47]
One glance to avoid[00:01:49]
One guitar to strum[00:01:52]
One untruth to be told[00:01:54]
One last song to be sung[00:01:56]
And you the most brilliant[00:01:59]
Most driven most keen[00:02:01]
Jewel of a bastard[00:02:04]
I ever have seen[00:02:06]
And you and your turn[00:02:08]
A good bitch of the nile[00:02:10]
So real to the end[00:02:13]
Nothing left to defile[00:02:15]
And me in the middle[00:02:18]
Along for the ride[00:02:20]
The unwilling distraction[00:02:22]
From familiocide[00:02:25]
And knowing our weaknesses[00:02:27]
No one refrained[00:02:29]
From picking[00:02:32]
And prodding[00:02:33]
'Till nothing remained[00:02:34]
Julia Julia[00:02:37]
Where have you gone [00:02:39]
Why have you vanished[00:02:42]
Off of my lawn [00:02:44]
Julia Julia[00:02:46]
Where is your truck [00:02:49]
Where have you driven[00:02:51]
With all of my luck [00:02:53]
And now in this kitchen[00:02:58]
Miles from home[00:03:01]
Miles from anything[00:03:03]
Miles from Rome[00:03:06]
Rome was a bust[00:03:08]
Rome was a scream[00:03:10]
Rome was the final[00:03:12]
Rapid eye movement[00:03:14]
To this dream[00:03:16]
We scattered like leaves[00:03:17]
Like pieces of dust[00:03:19]
Warriors watching[00:03:22]
Their swords and shields rust[00:03:24]
And now as we descend[00:03:26]
To couches and clocks[00:03:29]
To closets and appointments[00:03:31]
Let us drink to the rocks[00:03:33]
Let us drink to the sand[00:03:36]
To the winds which have blowed us[00:03:38]
Let us drink to the rivers[00:03:40]
Let us drink to the road[00:03:42]
And if you travel this far[00:03:54]
From either conscience or greed[00:03:57]
Have one piece of advice[00:03:59]
That I think you should heed[00:04:01]
If ever your travels[00:04:04]
Take you this far from home[00:04:06]
Consult your map carefully[00:04:09]
Stear clear of Rome[00:04:11]
Julia Julia[00:04:14]
Where have you gone [00:04:16]
Why have you vanished[00:04:19]
Off of my lawn [00:04:21]
Julia Julia[00:04:23]
Where is your truck [00:04:26]
Where have you driven[00:04:28]
With all of my luck [00:04:30]
Julia Julia[00:04:33]
Where have you gone [00:04:35]
Why have you vanished[00:04:37]
Off of my lawn [00:04:40]
Julia Julia[00:04:42]
Where is your truck [00:04:45]
Where have you driven[00:04:47]
With all of my luck[00:04:49]
