Lyrics

Disturbing the old times
The gift of science
Lots of back washing
Sticks of paper
Sticks of paper lighting away
If you find you don't know where you're going
It's in the bush, it's in the trees
I'm going to run round there twice
It's too quick, it's too late
It's much too quick, it's far too late
I'm rolling away, and I'm rolling away
And I'm rolling away for the last time
And I'm hauling away, and I'm hauling away
Too many things left unsaid
And I'm rolling away, and I'm rolling away
Somebody here is talking
And I'm hauling away, and I'm hauling away
Somebody here is sober
Somebody here is older
My bedtimes too
A lazy suit, bloody hands
Come taste your faith in every street
The sounds of money just kissed me in the face
My trousers aren't the right size
I'll go straight to the pocket
Take one step up, back to business
My mind is closed so my body speaks
My mind is clothed, my body squeaks
And I'm rolling away, and I'm rolling away
And I'm facing my only true smile
And I'm hauling away, and I'm hauling away
Somebody's bed is calling
So I'm rolling away, rolling away
The sound of time is talking
And I'm hauling away, and I'm hauling away
This party here is too loud
Nobody knows what clothes they're wearing
Nobody knows which road is the white one
So here we go, holding up the motion
You raise your hopes, you raise your chin
You raise your glass with nothing left
It's a momentary lapse, the common habit
Support your faith with this party pieces
Party pieces and party faces
Party people with their powder races
Just rolling away, just rolling away
Just rolling away, just rolling away
Rain time
Rain time
Rain time
