Omar Rodríguez-López
Rome Armed To The Teeth
She was living in the Federal District
Where the eagle held a snake in her hand
When he walked in from the outside
Where he hung the moon and the stars
Her future prospered in the night sky
But she'd be caught in the maelstrom of love

She must have thought he wouldn't hurt her
A love like that should last forever

But she was
Rome armed to the teeth
Rome armed to the teeth
She had to get out
She had to get out
Rome armed to the teeth
Rome armed to the teeth
She had to get out
She had to get out

Years later they'd find comfort in a family
But the fraying came undone at the brow
She took one look
And stood by her intuition
And wondered, was it her time?
So she decided that her future
Was to shoot the moon and cross the stars
She couldn't trust that he wouldn't hurt her
A love like that should last forever

But she was
Rome armed to the teeth
Rome armed to the teeth
She had to get out
She had to get out
Rome armed to the teeth
Rome armed to the teeth
She had to get out
She had to get out

For every omen
She'd hold them
And store them alone
Inside her clouds

What was that moment
He'd stolen them
And stored them alone
Inside her cloud

One look into her eyes and you'd know the courage behind her thousand yards of stare

She'd forego all the wealth
And start over again
Over the borderline
Rome armed to the teeth
Rome armed to the teeth
She had to get out
She had to get out
Rome armed to the teeth
Rome armed to the teeth
She had to get out
She had to get out
