Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When you see me
Better make a phone call
'Cause I'm a bad brained gravel throated fiend with no time at all
But just know that
I'll drown in sorrow
When I deposit your body in the dovecote, darlin' tomorrow
[Verse 2]
There's no mistaking that
Rome is gonna be mine
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time
[Verse 3]
There's no mistaking that
Rome is gonna be mine
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time
[Verse 4]
I'd sorta like the Rubicon and battle for it
I paint my face red
But I'm wearing purple
I'm a gladiator, high healed, opium fueled in a bubble
Take, take, take, take
I take gold plate and silver metal
Heat it up, melt it down to a soup and help you to swallow
[Verse 5]
There's no mistaking that
Rome is gonna be mine
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time
[Verse 6]
There's no mistaking that
Rome is gonna be mine
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time
[Verse 7]
I'd sorta like the Rubicon and battle for it
Rome is gonna be mine
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time
[Verse 8]
There's no mistaking that
Rome is gonna be mine
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time
[Verse 9]
Rome is gonna be mine
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time
[Verse 10]
Rome is gonna be mine
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time
[Verse 11]
Rome is gonna be mine
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time
