Playing Nero

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 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
