lyrics

I dropped into a manhole
On the east side of the tracks
I would've climbed back out but
My shoulderbone was cracked
Just yesterday I bought a vinyl billfold
The leather one gave me a rash
I would've bought my way to the surface
But I hadn't any cash

I ran a semi-circle 'bout ten thousand miles round
Through the sewer pipe
The distance was too far
Something was wrong
My voice was tired
I reached the end
I saw how far I ran
Singing songs of Grecian tragedy
The Romans were dancing

I sat down, on the ground
In front of me was signpost paved with cobblestones
And ancient hungry folklore
Breadcrust on the dancefloor
Breadcrust on the walls
Who invented breadcrust

The Romans were dancing
Romans were dancing
Romans were dancing
Romans were dancing

The Romans danced in grapefruit pants with the mango heat
in calloused feet
The laudry man made a terrible mistake
The bins were confused
The laundry man confesses
Now the Romans
Wear their curtains
For their dresses

I sat down, on the ground
In front of me was signpost paved with cobblestones
And ancient hungry folklore
Breadcrust on the dancefloor
Breadcrust on the walls
Who invented breadcrust
The Romans were dancing

Romans were dancing
Romans were dancing
Romans were dancing

The Romans were dancing
Romans were dancing

The Romans were dancing
Romans were dancing
