Well, darling, you don't know me, don't think you ever will I'm another ten part poet, another infidel They're still scrubbing at the stains of the communion wine I spilled While I roll Roll, roll on
Well, get me some good cocaine, get me any feeling left Show me pretty little dancing girls with collars 'round their necks Get me God on the line, boys, and make that call connect Oh, he'll roll Roll, roll on
Was that girl in the dust drawing breathe or blood? It's so hard to tell between bad taste and good So just roll Roll on
There's a train in the distance, there's a lineman on the line There's a hard rain comin', it's been comin' a long time Nobody reads maps no more, no one follows signs They just roll Roll, roll on
Call up the Captain, bring back Mother Jones Raise 'em up from the dirt, get them rattled in their bones Watch 'em hall down that network, make them leave the sky alone And then roll Roll, roll on
And that chain around your neck is like the one around your feet Just another signpost pointing straight to ruin street Where you'll roll Roll on
Well, I love you for your color, babe, I love your face All the neon in the city can't hold a candle to your grace But you move through me like our love is common place You just roll Roll, roll on
Do you really call that living, do you really think that's wise? You've been doing so much dying, dying right before my eyes And if it's truth that you want, well, I've got this great disguise Yeah, just roll Roll, roll on
It doesn't matter how much Nietzsche you have read When a black gun clicks and there's a barrel at your head Singing roll Roll on
Roll on Roll on
So here's my tongue, here's my body, come on and take my soul away I got 'em cheap in the market, they weren't worth much anyway And if you wanna fix 'em up, maybe I'll buy 'em back someday Till then I'll roll Roll, roll on Till then I'll roll Roll on Roll on Roll on Roll on
