The Coliseum
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Colliseum. The Colliseum.
Look out, [born].
You ought to know this by now.
You with the empty crane over....
They're the gatekeepers and the sentinels.
Their jokes are hum-drum.
The Colliseum. [X4]
Brown brass leading up to ionic columns.
Trust them.
Sometimes that is not enough
In the vast cavernous emptiness
That is the world of the callow.
But they stood outside of [Bothom]...
The Colliseum. [X3]
Trust them.
But sometimes that's not enough
In the vast cavernous....
The Colliseum.[X2]
And you have to have a good condition
To get into the colliseum.
And the jingle jangle of this city
Makes you hunger and down.
You have to have a good condition
to get into the colliseum.
The colliseum.[X4
Brown brass leading up to ionic columns,
But sometimes that's not enough....
Their jokes are hum-drum.
About 7:30 to 8:00,
tiredness sets in.
You want to take a little break
and get out of home.
The colliseum.[X4]
Brown brass....
You've got to have a good condition
to get into....
These people, they will never ever learn.
They are not fit to walk through
the ionic columns of
the colliseum.
The colliseum.
You've got to have a good condition
to get into the colliseum.
