Fall Of Rome Lyrics - Singles - James Reyne

Every morning when I wake from my bed 

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

I face the dawning and I feel like I'm dead 

I been sleeping all alone 

Well, every daybreak as I wake from my sleep 

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

If I were a Mustang, I'd be a junkyard heap 

Mirror don't lie, mirror don't lie 

Talk about a rolling stone 

Everybody said, "What's that sound?" 

Put it in a skillet and a-slap it all around 

And everybody said, "I can't stay home" 

Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome 

Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome 

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

I've been picking things up from the underground 

Like a trackless tram, I'm Bondi bound 

Sitting in the depot all alone 

No purity no clear white walls 

Just a big stampede when the Warragul calls 

Times a-menacing just gnashes and mauls 

Where am I gonna buy it, where am I gonna buy it? 

Gotta give a dog a bone 

Everybody said, "What's that sound?" 

Put it in a skillet and a'slap it all around 

And everybody said, "I can't stay home" 

Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome 

Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome 

I've been thinking 'bout the fall of Rome 

Well, I've been living a categorical lie 

Each last thrill the penultimate high 

Just one more hit before I can die 

Yellow teeth are snappin' all around 

Well, every daybreak as I wake from my bed 

I find I'm aching 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 

Everybody said, "What's that sound?" 

Put it in a skillet and a-slap it all around 

And everybody said, "I can't stay home" 

Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome 

Everybody said, "What's that sound?" 

Put it in a skillet and a-slap it all around 

And everybody said, "I can't stay home" 

Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome 

Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome 

Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome 

Still thinking 'bout the fall of Rome 

I've been thinking 'bout the fall of Rome
