Without You

Without you, I am isolated in the dark
Without you, I'm reduced to walking in the park
Without you, I'm afraid to talk to anyone
Without you, I stay inside, avoid bright lights like the sun

Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

I asked a sick Italian boy if he'd seen or heard
He muttered some directions, I didn't understand a word
I went to see the Sistine Chapel, figured that I should
I kept staring at the floor, the patterns in the wood

Without you
Without you
Looked like you

I went to see the Coliseum hoping it was huge
I went down to the drugstore, desperate to be soothed
Started smokin' cigarettes again, even though they're bad
I gotta burn my lungs somehow and that was all I had

Without you
Without you
Without you

God gave you to me and the police intervened
One night with you on a Roman scaffolding
Jacked up by some saint
Oh God, what we could paint

To all the dirty parts of town, I look for you my girl
I search all the saddest eyes, you're of the underworld
Without you, all the juice inside me hardens to a shell
Without you, all of Rome is just another town that fell

Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you

Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
