lyrics

The pilot’s a dream
Rest of the season was a ratings machine
But then the whole thing fell apart at the seams
As the cameras caught fire
Moving across
Between the stations I forgot where I was
Felt at the same time familiar and lost
As the daylight expired
Breaking it down
Sinister pages of a sinister sound
And as I walked a hundred stairs to the town
I heard the ladies in choirs
They sang “the square was on fire”
As the rain fell on the Roman Tiles
Yeah the square was on fire
As it rained in Holy Rome
Yeah you know, you know what’s going on
Moving along
Hearing pieces of my favorite song
With every stairway we’re treading upon
The elevation gets higher
Tearing apart
Whatever emptiness was left from the start
I watched the ocean from a tower of rocks
And the ladies in choirs…
The rain, in sheets, it fell for now it’s good
But you and I, wouldn’t change it if I could
We’re all alone, in another part of the world
But the rain, in sheets, it fell for now
We’re altogether all alone…
