Rolling Away

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 magazines 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 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 '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

Passes for spirituality

I don't meditate

I don't pray

But I eat two samosas 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
