James Reyne Fall Of Rome Lyrics

Fall Of Rome Lyrics

Every mor-orning when I wake from my bed

I find I'm yawnin' just
a-scratchin' my head

I face the dawnin', I feel like I'm dead

Oh
baby, I been sleeping all alone

Well, every daybreak as I wake from my
sleep

I find I'm achin' as I drag from the deep

If I were a Mustang
I'd be a junk-yard heap

Mirror don't lie, mirror don't lie, talk about a
rollin' stone



Everbody said a-what's that sound, put it in a
skillet and slap it all around

And everybody said I can't stay home,

Still thinkin' 'bout the Fall of

Well, all these dragons are just a-draggin' me down

I've been a-pickin' things up from the underground

Like a trackless
tram I'm Bondi bound

Sittin' in the depot all alone

No purity, no
clear white walls

A big stampede when the Warragul calls

Times
a-menacing just gnashes and mauls

Where'm I gonna buy it, where'm I gonna
buy it

Gotta give a dog a bone



And everbody said what's that
sound, put it in a skillet and slap it all around

And everybody said I
can't stay home, still thinkin' 'bout the Fall of Rome

Still thinkin'
'bout the - Fall of Ro-ome, I'm a-thinkin' 'bout the Fall of Ro-ome



Well I've been li-ivin' a categorical lie

Each last thrill the
penultimate high

Just a-one more hit before I can die

Yellow teeth
are snappin' all around

Well, every day of the week as I wake from my
bed

I find I'm yawning just a scratchin' my head

If I were a
Mustang, I think it's gone to my head

Mirror don't lie, mirror don't lie,
talk about a rolling stone



And everbody said what's that sound, put
it in a skillet and slap it all around

And everyb
