The Burning of Rome
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Let’s give the monkey something to swing on That boy’s been hanging around for days I’m not the kind of man to lean on That monkey best not swing my way But more than this For just one kiss I’ll kill these men in your name And sail away We’ll build an island We’ll build an island We’ll build an island in your sea of tears And call it home for a hundred years An island in your fleeting fears Don’t call this home, don’t call this home Let’s give the bastards a lesson in love After all that’s the Roman way I’ll find a last word they can lean on And get the monkey off of me But more than this With just one fist I’ll raise a coup in your name And sail away We’ll build an island We’ll build an island We’ll build an island We’ll build an island We’ll build an island in your sea of tears And call it home for a hundred years An island in your fleeting fears Don’t call this home, don’t call this home We’ll build this island (REPEAT)
