Rome Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah

When you see me
Better make a phone call
'Cause I'm a bad brained gravel gone fiend with no time at all
But just know that I'll drive so
When I deposit your body in the gulf coast, darlin, tomorrow

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
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

Through the legend of the river can he beg for it

Up in a basement
But I'm wearin' bubble
I'm glad it high heel don't give fuel to the bubble
Take, take, take, take
I better go play into metal
Heat it up, melt it down into a soup and help you to swallow

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
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

Through the legend of the river can he beg 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
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
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
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
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
There's no mistaking that
Rome is gonna be mine
It's just a matter of,
It's just a matter of-

Cover art for Rome lyrics by Yeasayer

Going along with the two posts before me, I must have listened to the second verse over and over and over, and this is what I came up with with

I paint my face red (it sounds like me uses an m like med but that didnt make sense, red passes tho) But I'm wearin' purple I'm Gladiator high heeled opium fueled in a bubble Take, take, take, take I'll take your gold plate and silver metal Heat it up, melt it down into a soup and help you to swallow

i think the words in the second verse are:

i'll take your gold plate and silver metal heat it up, melt it down to a soup and help you to swallow

I think part of the words in the third verse are: I'm a Gladiator high heeled oatmeal fueled in a bubble

After listening to a couple different versions, I'm sure the last line in the first verse is

"When I deposit your body in the dovecote, darling, tomorrow"

The line before that I can't make out but after "just know that" it definitely sounds like it's something with more syllables than "I'll drive so." Last word could very well be "sorrow" but not 100% sure.
