Dan Bern - Rolling Away lyrics

Your hand is between my legs The dog is between our bodies As I wake up I am rolling from you You are rolling from me 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 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 saying, "You don't need your ears You don't listen anyway." We need more nose jobs We need more hair relaxers More magazine's tellin 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 wring 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 now he's stompin' through the house He has a very busy itinerary He does not have time for you I wish I could give you everything All of me just like before This last time together We did everything 'cept fight 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 'em all a great one Oh, don't worry baby I'll write you one too But I'll also write one for Andie McDowell 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 Pa**es for spirituality I don't meditate I don't pray But I eat two somosas every day Oh, 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 Where 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
