lyrics

I made a mess in old Tacoma
So, I ran away to imperial Roma
I walk about Tiber, climb the Seven Hills
Dreaming of angels & daffodils

Found me a job at Santa Cecilia
Teaching the blues to Adelle & Emilia
Hoping for offers I could not resist
I ran into a velvet fist

I’m a pale gladiator in burning sand
The crowd is on fire, money changing hands
St. Peter walked these avenues
Till they made him an offer he could not refuse

Is this a life anybody would choose?
I sit by the fountain alone & confused
Garbage everywhere, I can’t stand the aroma
They won’t let you see what’s behind the kimono

Am I just a pawn in a timeless (eternal) game?
I’m weak, disconnected, I wonder why I came.
If you ain’t in the family, cease & desist.
Open your mouth, you’re quietly dismissed.

I’m a pale gladiator in burning sand
The crowd is on fire, money changing hands
The pretty people watching seem so amused
Chariots are coming, what am I trying to prove?

Ciao San Giovanni and Santa Maria
Goodbye, Trevi Fountain, Capella Sistina
Going to Tacoma on bended knees
I’ll marry my baby by the salty sea

I’m a pale gladiator in burning sand
The crowd is on fire, money changing hands
St. Peter walked these avenues
Till they made him an offer he could not refuse
FINE
