your hand is between my legs the dog is between our bodies as i wake up you are rollin' from me i am rollin' 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 rollin' from me we are rolling away i caught a cold and for 2 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 sayin' there's something wrong with your face there's something wrong with your face X3 i am rolling from you/you are rollin' from me we are rollin' away some wild creature has taken command i gave him the keys and he's stompin' thru 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 'cept fight aw we used to fight so good i am rolling from you/you are rollin' from me we are rollin' 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 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 2 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 you are rollin' from me i am rollin' from you we are rollin' away i cry every day but beauty shows up when you least expect to find it you are rollin' from me i am rollin' from you we are rollin' away repeat
