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 youTime 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 tearsIf 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 thingsI am rolling from you
You are rolling from me
We are rolling awayI 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 anywayWe need more nose jobs
We need more hair relaxers
More magazines telling usThere'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 faceI am rolling from you
You are rolling from me
We are rolling' awaySome 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 youI 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 goodI am rolling from you
You are rolling from me
We are rolling awayI 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 MacdowellI'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 dayGo 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 nightsI am rolling from you
You are rolling from me
We are rolling awayI cry every day but beauty shows up
When you least expect to find itI am rolling from you
You are rolling from me
We are rolling awayI cry every day but beauty shows up
When you least expect to find itI am rolling from you
You are rolling from me
We are rolling awayI am rolling from you
You are rolling from me
We are rolling awayI am rolling from you
You are rolling from me
We are rolling away

Dan Bern (aka Bernstein, a name under which he sometimes performs) is a guitarist, singer, songwriter, and painter. His music is often compared to that of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello. His song "Talkin' Woody, Bob, Bruce, and Dan Blues," from the album Smartie Mine, offers a joking take on this influence, presented in the style of a Guthrie or Dylan talking blues song, and containing a spoof of a Dylan song as well. Bernstein has also toured with Ani DiFranco.
