Rome is actually the name of the album but a title such as Danger Mouse & Daniel Luppi Feat. Norah Jones was too much of a headache. So Rome it is! This song slightly rips off the Eagles’ Hotel California but since it’s so damn good- let’s call it a tribute. There’s an interactive version of the vid that can’t be embedded here. Check out the link at the bottom of the page to try the interactive version (a collaboration with Google. Sort of fun but parts of the graphics are kinda shaky). G’weekend!
Black
OR
Lyrics
We touched the walls of the city streets and
Dead ends plain, sadly showed us our ways
Of never asking whyCast down it was heaven sent and
To the church, no intent to repent on my knees
Just to cryUntil you travel to that place you can’t come back
Where the last pain is gone and all that’s left is blackGrey nights he’s coming to me and
Some day they’ll punish my deeds and they’ll find
All the crimesBut then they ask when they gonna see them
Then they gonna ask to feel the ghosts, the walls, the dreams
Well I’ve got mineAt last those coming came and they never looked back
With blinding stars in their eyes but all they saw was blackFooled them hoping to seem
Like a slave of evil but the product of greed and
It’s not a mass so be honest with me
We can’t afford to ignore that I’m the diseasePractical since we had to be and
When they were old they came back to me and they tried
Oh they triedAnd when you follow through and wind up on your back
Looking up at those stars in the sky, those white clouds have turned it black* * *
