Dan Bern Rolling Away Lyrics

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 better be prepared to fight
I got too much fear
And too much neglect of magical things
I am rollin' from you/you are rollin' from me
We are rollin' 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 anyways
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 wring with your face
I am rollin' from you/you are rollin' from me
We are rollin' away
some wild creature has taken command
I gave him the keys and now he's stompin' thru
the house
he has a very busy itinerary
and he does not have time for you
I wish I could give you everything
( From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/d/dan-bern-lyrics/rolling-away-lyrics.html )
all of me just like before
this last time together
we did everything 'cept fight
aw we used to fight so good
I am rollin' 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 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 somosas 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 where you least expect to find it
You are rollin' from me
I am rollin' from you
We are rollin' away
You are rollin' from me
I am rollin' from you
We are rollin' away
