Roman Empire Lyrics

Clocking in at nine it's another day

TPS reports the usual array

At the water cooler chatting with Jane

But my mind drifts to Rome it's insane

She's talking 'bout the weekend plans to unwind

But I'm picturing legions formations in line

While she's on about movies the latest craze

I'm lost in thoughts of ancient days

She's talking 'bout the weekend plans to unwind

But I'm picturing legions formations in line

While she's on about movies the latest craze

I'm lost in thoughts of ancient days

At Starbucks ordering my complicated brew

The pretty barista asks"How's it going for you?"

I smile and nod but in my head there's a fight

Thinking of Hannibal crossing Alps what a sight

She hands me my latte caramel and foam

But I'm lost in battles far from home

While she talks about the weather and the city's grind

I'm in ancient Carthage leaving it all behind

She hands me my latte caramel and foam

But I'm lost in battles far from home

While she talks about the weather and the city's grind

I'm in ancient Carthage leaving it all behind

Dinner at Wingstop with my fiancée

Talking 'bout our future and our wedding day

But my mind's on the fall of a great empire

Rome in ruins set ablaze by fire

She's planning our honeymoon places to see

But I'm stuck in history not where I should be

While she's dreaming of beaches and sunsets so fine

I'm thinking of emperors their fall in decline

I think about the Roman Empire all the time

In my nine to five it's always on my mind

From the water cooler chats to the Starbucks line

Rome's ancient glory forever intertwined

I think about the Roman Empire all the time

In my nine to five it's always on my mind

From the water cooler chats to the Starbucks line

Rome's ancient glory forever intertwined

So here I am in the modern day

But my thoughts are in Rome they never stray

From work to coffee to dinner dates

The Roman Empire's legacy forever ingrates

So here I am in the modern day

But my thoughts are in Rome they never stray

From work to coffee to dinner dates

The Roman Empire's legacy forever ingrates

So here I am in the modern day

But my thoughts are in Rome they never stray

From work to coffee to dinner dates

The Roman Empire's legacy forever ingrates.
