Mark Lanegan Band - Playing Nero Lyrics

Mark Lanegan Band Lyrics

"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 have won the 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
Wringing 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
