[Verse 1]
Standin' in the middle of a Roman street
Marble dust all over my feet
Bearded masses at the gates
Dancin' in the ruins while it's not too late
[Verse 2]
Drivin' a Rolls through old Bombay
Rickshaw driver's in my way
Well he'd better move over and he'd better move fast
Dancin' in the ruins of a golden past
Dancin' in the ruins of the Raj
Queen and country's noble cause
[Verse 3]
Standin' on the banks of the river Seine
I ain't got tuppence to my name
Stand my ground and I cast my net
Dancin' in the ruins where the sun don't set
Dancin' in the ruins of the Crown
Enfield rifles keepin' us down
[Verse 4]
I got a thirty-aught-six and a premium load
In a shotgun shack on a two lane road
Smack in the middle of the Bible Belt
Dancin' in the ruins all by myself
Standin' in the middle of a Roman street
Marble dust all over my feet
Bearded masses at the gates
Dancin' in the ruins while it's not too late
[Verse 2]
Drivin' a Rolls through old Bombay
Rickshaw driver's in my way
Well he'd better move over and he'd better move fast
Dancin' in the ruins of a golden past
Dancin' in the ruins of the Raj
Queen and country's noble cause
[Verse 3]
Standin' on the banks of the river Seine
I ain't got tuppence to my name
Stand my ground and I cast my net
Dancin' in the ruins where the sun don't set
Dancin' in the ruins of the Crown
Enfield rifles keepin' us down
[Verse 4]
I got a thirty-aught-six and a premium load
In a shotgun shack on a two lane road
Smack in the middle of the Bible Belt
Dancin' in the ruins all by myself
