  • Ancient Rome, we built that fucker stone by stone
    Our fingers bled, our feet were worn
    But we stood strong and carried on

    Come on in, do you want to touch my bulbous head?
    With features wrapped and stretched to death
    A tiny nose is all that's left

    This is not for your entertainment

    The land at the end of our toes, goes on and on and on and on
    The sand at the core of our bones, it blows on and on and on and on
    The land at the end of our toes, goes on and on and on and on
    The sand at the core of our bones continues on

    The basement's gone, it seems they've dug up all our land
    The world was lowered man by man
    Let's move the sky and not join hands

    Ancient Rome, we built that fucker stone by stone
    Our fingers bled, our feet were worn
    But we stood strong and carried on

    This is not for your entertainment

    The land at the end of our toes, goes on and on and on and on
    The sand at the core of our bones, it blows on and on and on and on
    The land at the end of our toes, goes on and on and on and on
    The sand at the core of our bones continues on

    Life still sounds like balloons
    You chew and you chew and chew
    Your teeth crumble to the floor
    It's where they lay, it's where they lay
    Our past never really dies
    I don't think we even try
    There's no difference from
    Where we wake or where we die

    (Balloons, balloons, balloons)

    The land at the end of our toes, goes on and on and on and on
    The sand at the core of our bones, it blows on and on and on and on
    The land at the end of our toes, goes on and on and on and on
    The sand at the core of our bones continues on Writer/s: Simon Neil
