I can tell you're thinking of some place you'd rather be althought you're here with me You're acting so distracted and your eyes are always checking on the time And now you're telling me you've really got to go You say you're sorry and you'll call me but I know There's a chariot waiting with the wheels on fire The dark velvet strains of a midnight choir And you don't hear me now No you don't hear me at all No not a word at all Rome will fall You would be mistaken if you think I'll play the victim in a loser's game I'm not one for revenge but then again I really think it might be fun And while you're looking for the lions to go free They'll be invisible to everyone but me There's a chariot waiting with the wheels on fire The dark velvet strains of a midnight choir And you don't hear me now No you don't hear me at all No not a word at all Rome will fall There's a chariot waiting with the wheels on fire The dark velvet strains of a midnight choir And you don't hear me now No you don't hear me at all No not a word at all There's a chariot waiting with the wheels on fire The dark velvet strains of a midnight choir And you don't hear me now No you don't hear me at all No not a word at all Rome will fall Rome will fall
