Jon O'Connor - Roma

Ageing lonely lost bleery eyed so lifeless in shame
tattered starlet so enamoured by the notion of fame
traded in all her flannel for a gucci fucking outfit
& all the bruises on her knees from getting where she wants to go

That started it then & so it goes in Roma goes in Roma
That shadowed the end & so it goes in Roma goes in Roma

Conversations accusations on the record she wont
exasperated by the truth enough is never enough
traded in everything for a swing at the show
& all the bruises on her knees from getting where she wants to go

That started it then & so it goes in Roma goes in Roma
That shadowed the end & so it goes in Roma goes in Roma

Black & blue the stain thats covering you
Dark return the guilt thats eating up you
Broken by all the thought that it's widely known
it all boils down to the fact SHES THE ENEMY

From the magazines & t.v screens a face that we know
from the movie deals and shameless scenes theres
one way to go
Traded in everything & with nothing to show
'cept all the bruises on her knees from getting where she wants to go

That started it then & so it goes in Roma goes in Roma
That shadowed the end & so it goes in Roma goes in Roma

Black & blue the stain thats covering you
Dark return the guilt thats eating up you
Broken by all the thought that it's widely known
it all boils down to the fact SHES THE ENEMY
Black & blues the stain thats covering you
Dark return the guilt thats eating up you
Broken by all the thought that it's widely known
it all boils down to the fact SHES THE ENEMY
