Lyrics for Song: The Coliseum
Lyrics for Album: Time Enough At Last [2005]
Coliseum, the coliseum
Look out, burn, you ought to know this by now
You with the empty crane over
They're the gate keepers and the sentinels
Their jokes are hum-drum
The coliseum, the coliseum
The coliseum, the coliseum
Brown brass leading up to ionic columns
Trust them, sometimes that is not enough
In the vast cavernous emptiness
That is the world of the callow
A bus stood outside at bottom
The coliseum, the coliseum
The coliseum
Trust them, but sometimes that's not enough
In the vast cavernous
The coliseum, the coliseum
And you gotta have a good condition
To get into the coliseum
And the jingle-jangle of this city
Makes you hunger and down
You gotta 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 hum-drum
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 gotta 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 gotta have a good condition
To get into the coliseum
