In the Arrivderci Roma nightclub bar and grill

Standing in the fiberglass ruins

 Watching time stand still

All your troubles you confess

 To another faceless backless dress

Schnaps, cianti, porter and ouzo

Perond vodka, sambuca I love you so

 Deportee

There's a tatty beauty talkin in riddles

Rome burns down and every..body fiddles

 Deportee

 But a thousand dollars won't buy you a Yankee wife unless

 There's a thousand years of history drowned in this chaser glass

 And now I wish that she was mine

 I could have been a king in 6/8 time

 Deportee

 Its a brittle charm but she's had enough

 Still she wrote her name upon his paper cuff

 And you don't know where to start or where to stop

 All this pillow talk is nothing more than

(on string)

Finally talking shop

When I came here tonight my pockets were overflowing

 They took my return ticket without me even knowing

 So I pray to the saints and all the maytrs

 For the secret life of Frank Sinarta

But none of these things ever come to pass

 In America the law is a piece of ass

 Deportee So its

Schnaps, cianti, porter and ouzo

Perond vodka, sambuca I love you so

 Deportee Poor Deportee Deportee
