(Tom Waits/K. Brennan)
2
The women all control their men
3
With razors and with wrists
4
And the princess squeezes grape juice
5
On a torrid bloody kiss
6
What will you be wearing there
7
The lion or the raven hair?
8
The flesh will all be tearing
9
But the tail will be my own
10
In the colosseum tonight
11
This one's for the balcony
12
And this one's for the floor
13
As the senators decapitate
14
The presidential whore
15
The bald headed senators
16
Are splashing in the blood
17
The dogs are having someone
18
WHo is screaming in the mud
19
In the colosseum tonight
20
Now it's raining and it's pouring
21
On the pillaging and goring
22
The constable is swinging
23
From the chains
24
For the dead there is no story
25
No memory no blame
26
Their families shout blue murder
27
But tomorrow it's the same
28
In the colosseum
29
A slowly acting poison
30
Will be given to the favorite one
31
THe dark horse will bring glory
32
To the jailer and his men
33
It's always much more sporting
34
When there's families in the pit
35
And the madness of the crowd
36
Is an epileptic fit
37
In the colosseum
38
No justice here, no liberty
39
No reason, no blame
40
There's no cause to taint the sweetest taste of blood
41
And greetings from the nation
42
As we shake the hands of time
43
They're taking their ovations
44
The vultures stay behind
45
In the colosseum, in the colosseum
46
In the colosseum tonight
