Playing Nero Songtext
von Mark Lanegan Band
Playing Nero Songtext
Can′t believe what I'm hearing
Stone cold
Statuary blue
On the telephone
Can′t believe what I'm feeling
Bone cold
After what you said
In blood, written bold
Raspberry red
Up upon the rock
Where an angel stood
With a rifle stock
Underneath his foot
No matter anyway
I've one part
On this stage today
Playing Nero
They said he would fall
And fall he did
Before he had to crawl
Can′t believe what I′m hearing
Stone, stone, stone, stone cold
Statuary blue
On the telephone
Can't believe how I′m reeling
A spinning top
All around my head
A dirty mop
Wrigging out the dead
Can't you make it stop
Remember what you said
Playing Nero
They said he would fall
And fall he did
Before he had to crawl
Can′t believe what I'm seeing
So sick
The tenement block
The crumbling brick
Can′t believe what I'm feeling
Bone cold
After what you said
In blood, written bold
Raspberry red
Playing Nero
They said he would fall
And fall he did
And fall he did
And fall he did
Stone cold
Statuary blue
On the telephone
Can′t believe what I'm feeling
Bone cold
After what you said
In blood, written bold
Raspberry red
Up upon the rock
Where an angel stood
With a rifle stock
Underneath his foot
No matter anyway
I've one part
On this stage today
Playing Nero
They said he would fall
And fall he did
Before he had to crawl
Can′t believe what I′m hearing
Stone, stone, stone, stone cold
Statuary blue
On the telephone
Can't believe how I′m reeling
A spinning top
All around my head
A dirty mop
Wrigging out the dead
Can't you make it stop
Remember what you said
Playing Nero
They said he would fall
And fall he did
Before he had to crawl
Can′t believe what I'm seeing
So sick
The tenement block
The crumbling brick
Can′t believe what I'm feeling
Bone cold
After what you said
In blood, written bold
Raspberry red
Playing Nero
They said he would fall
And fall he did
And fall he did
And fall he did
