Rolls Royce
Click to see the original lyrics (Italian)
Lying on the ground like The Doors1
Well-dressed on Via del Corso2
I lose my head like Kevin
At twenty-seven like Amy3
Rolls Royce4
One is like Marilyn Monroe5
A pearl guitar, Billie Joe
I play on the ground like Hendrix6
Viva Las Vegas like Elvis7
Rolling Stones10
No, its' not a drink, it's Paul Gascoigne11
No, it's not love, it's a sexy shop
Rolls Royce
I want a life like this
C'est la vie14
It's not madness but it's just living
I've never been myself
No, there's nothing to understand
What will become of us
Rolls Royce, Rolls Royce
What will become of us
Rolls Royce
I want a life like this
C'est la vie
My love, you're the devil
You return, but
Only to light my paper heart on fire
God, I pray, save us from these days
Keep a place off to the side and mark these names
