Coliseum The Coliseum Look out, burn You ought to know this by now You with the empty crane over They're the gatekeepers and the sentinels Their jokes are humdrum
The Coliseum Coliseum The Coliseum The Coliseum
Brown brass leading up to Ionic columns Trust them Sometimes there is not enough in the vast cavernous emptiness that is the world of the callow
But they stood outside at bottom The Coliseum Coliseum The Coliseum
Trust them But sometimes that's not enough in the vast cavernous ...
The Coliseum The Coliseum
And you have to have a good condition to get into the Coliseum
And the jingle jangle of this city makes you hunger and down You have to have a good condition to get into the Coliseum
The Coliseum The Coliseum The Coliseum The Coliseum
Brown brass leading up to Ionic columns But sometimes that's not enough Their jokes are humdrum
About 7:30 to 8:00 tiredness sets in You want to take a little break and get out of home
The Coliseum The Coliseum
Brown brass You've got to have a good condition to get into ... to get into
These people, they will never ever learn They are not fit to walk through the Ionic columns of the Coliseum The Coliseum
You've got to have a good condition to get into the Coliseum
