Even though the road is wet the cars they are still coming
nothing stops ecstatic space and time
blending into one colossally immense machine
escaping some enormous history
don't they know
don't they know don't they know
this was once called Rome
even though it's new years day I'm safe an warm and far away
I paid my rent just yesterday
nothing here can touch me now
I'm distant and immune
I can watch disaster on TV
don't they know
don't they know don't they know
this was once called Rome
5 am on Monday morning
engines at full throttle
burning up the dinosaurs and cave men
grinding meshing sanding sounds
creating clouds and chomping down
the beef burrito puts me back to sleep
dialing up the internet to order out for discount s**
the message comes from almost out of nowhere
meet me at the shopping mall (flying through the wires and ground
I am Sue my friend is Paul
venture out on city streets past breaking dreams and facial cream
crossing at the light they call desire
