When In Rome - Nickel Creek

Where can a sick man go?

When he can’t choke down the medicine, the old doc knows

A specialist came to town, but he stays at home

Sayin' «No one knows, so I don’t»

Honey, when in Rome

Where can a teacher go?

Wherever she thinks people need the things she knows

Hey those books you gave us look good on the shelves at home

And they’ll burn warm in the fireplace

Teacher, when in Rome

Grab a blanket, sister, we’ll make smoke signals

Bring us some new blood, it feels like we’re alone

Grab a blanket, brother, so we don’t catch cold from one another

I wonder if we’re stuck in Rome

Where can a dead man go?

A question with an answer only dead men know

But I’m gonna bet they never really feel at home

If they spent a lifetime learning how to live in Rome
