Roman

Dare I desire
More than karma allows
From the high street hotties
And the rudeboys doing the rounds
Floods of depression and debt
Stormclouds follow in my every step

And I'm a Roman
A degenerate liar
Be careful when you step
Around my broken empire
If you go in keep your head low
There are knuckleheads who'd kill
For such a heavenly glow

There's a painting in your attic
And I detect a likeness, is that it
The beauty secrets you keep
A face to greet the faces that you meet

And I'm a Roman
That's all I'm saying
Was araised and trained
To just be your plaything
Well that's what I've
Been led to believe
But you can't spell believe without l i e

And she's the closest
Thing to love
Am I supposed to
Just give it all up
All for a toaster
In the bathtub

I spend time on my own
Well she leaves the longer shadows
When she goes
And I spend time on my own
On my own

And she's the closest
Thing to love
Am I supposed to
Just give it all up
All for a toaster
In the bathtub
