Rolling Away

Lyrics

Your hand is between my legs
 The dog is between our bodies
 As I wake up you are rolling from me
 I am rolling from you
 Time to join a new religion
 Time to overthrow the state
 Time to demand all my beliefs
 Are in a new constitution
 I can't stop you from cryin'
 But sometimes I can lick away your tears
 If you look in someone's eyes
 More than two seconds now
 You'd better be prepared to fight
 I got too much fear and too much neglect
 Of magical things
 I am rolling from you
 You are rolling from me
 We are rolling away
 I caught a cold and for two days straight
 My ears have been plugged up
 As if my body's sayin'
 You don't need your ears
 You don't use 'em anyway
 We need more nose jobs
 We need more hair relaxers
 More magazines telling us
 There's something wrong with your face
 There's something wrong with your face
 There's something wrong with your face
 There's something wrong with your face
 I am rolling from you
 You are rolling from me
 We are rolling' away
 Some wild creature has taken command
 I gave him the keys
 And he's stompin' through the house
 He has a very busy itinerary
 He does not have much time for you
 I wish I could give you everything
 All of me just like before
 This last time together
 We did everything except fight
 Aw, we used to fight so good
 I am rolling from you
 You are rolling from me
 We are rolling away
 I see beautiful actresses
 With terrible scripts
 And I want to write them all
 A great one, don't worry, baby
 I'll write you one too
 But I'll also write one for Andie Macdowell
 I'd love to trade places with a dog for a day
 To know what he thinks and what he feels
 Does he think about life?
 Does he think about God?
 Or just about his next meal, like us?
 So often these days eating Indian food
 Passes for spirituality
 I don't meditate, I don't pray
 But I eat two samosas every day
 Go down Moses, go down on me
 I do not have the strength to fight
 I only pray, you treat me gently
 These are long, cold nights
 I am rolling from you
 You are rolling from me
 We are rolling away
 I cry every day but beauty shows up
 When you least expect to find it
 I am rolling from you
 You are rolling from me
 We are rolling away
 I cry every day but beauty shows up
 When you least expect to find it
 I am rolling from you
 You are rolling from me
 We are rolling away
 I am rolling from you
 You are rolling from me
 We are rolling away
 I am rolling from you
 You are rolling from me
 We are rolling away
