Tom Waits - In The Colosseum слова песни
The women al lcontrol their menWith razors and with wristsAnd the princess squeezes grape juiceOn a torrid bloody kissWhat will you be wearing thereThe lion or the raven hair?The flesh will all be tearingBut the tail will be my ownIn the colosseum tonightThis one`s for the balconyAnd this one`s for the floorAs the senators decapitateThe presidential whoreThe bald headed senatorsAre splashing in the bloodThe dogs are having someoneWHo is screaming in the mudIn the colosseum tonightNow it`s raining and it`s pouringOn the pillaging and goringThe constable is swinging>From the chainsFor the dead there is no storyNo memory no blameTheir families shout blue murderBut tomorrow it`s the sameIn the colosseumA slowly acting poisonWill be given to the favorite oneTHe dark horse will bring gloryTo the jailer and his menIt`s always much more sportingWhen there`s families in the pitAnd the madness of the crowd Is an epileptic fitIn the colosseumNo justice here, no libertyNo reason, no blameThere`s no cause to taint the sweetest taste of bloodAnd greetings from the nationAs we shake the hands of timeThey`re taking their ovationsThe vultures stay behindIn the colosseum, in the colosseumIn the colosseum tonight
