Lou Christie Back To The Days Of The Romans Lyrics

Back To The Days Of The Romans Lyrics

Let me save thee, save thee from the den of iniquity  

 Let me save thee; we're repeating Roman hist'ry  

 Our mysteries on pencil & paper to touch a way of livin'  

 It's not in the bag, honey, I'll bunch & sag; the Romans did it  

 But I'll give you moonlight, old-fashioned moonlight  

 Like initials on a tree, saying that you love me  

  

 CHORUS:  

 Back to the days of the Romans, baby, that's where we're goin'  

 (That's where we're goin') that's where we're goin'  

 Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah  

  

 Let me save thee from walkin' the path of least resistance  

 Let me save thee, baby don't laugh with the Devil's existence  

 Those were fine, they were havin' some time  

 When Caesar lost his handle  

 I prayed for all, they were havin' a ball  

 On women & scare 'em  

 But I'll give you moonlight, old-fashioned moonlight  

 Like initials on a tree, saying that you love me  

  

 (chorus)  

  

 Moonlight, old-fashioned moonlight  

 Moonlight, old-fashioned moonlight  

  

 (chorus x2)  

  

 (repeat & fade):  

 Sing hallelujah
