Rome Before the War

The well's run dry, the rags are torn I went to war on Sunday morning The bullets fly beyond command Casualties, notwithstanding This whole affair became the biggest mess of all, see them fall (Sevastopol, see your good men fall) Say Goodbye to Mrs. Pain She is driving you insane Till those violets turn to firemen And say Hello to Mr. Cheers He will smile away your tears That would burn like acid fountains That Tokyo life just passed us by Kaito's parts were most exciting He's gone to see the big masai To meet his look that's more than frightening Ring the bells of Old Calliope We believe in what we see (We only see in what we can believe) The night has turned again to day It has long been gone away And left us all here in the waiting The day has led us into night Mr. Truman was not right To put us all into the fading Can I carry on I am not so strong Their weight is pulling me so lightly Coming down And I am drowned Science has fallen from disgrace How could they go to leave us facing A life that’s compartmentalized With urgent dreams that have us rising Twenty thousand miles below the sea We repeat our plea endlessly Say Goodbye to Mrs. Pain She is driving you insane Till those violets turn to firemen And say Hello to Mr. Cheers He will smile away your tears That would flow like acid fountains
