Roll Bus Roll
Roll bus roll, take me offA rolled sweatshirt makes the window softIf I fall asleep, don't wake me up.Roll bus roll, take me up.Midnight coming on a Monday night.I'm gonna go again because I don't feel right.Backpack, knapsack, bumper car and train.42nd street, Greyhound again.Roll bus roll, take me offA rolled sweatshirt makes the window softIf I fall asleep, don't wake me up.Roll bus roll, take me up.Old bodegas and old streetlightsHarlem looks so warm tonight.It's just thinking about ___ doughnuts that makes me want to cryTill I have to take 2 Tylenols and close my eyesRoll bus roll, take me offA rolled sweatshirt makes the window softIf I fall asleep, don't wake me up.Roll bus roll, take me up.I wasn't designed to move so fastSongtexteI wasn't designed to have so much pastI wasn't designed for ______________No, I don't wanna stay, no I wanna runAnd then the sun setting on my youth makes that old shadow get tallerBut as long as the bus makes the city behind me get smaller and smallerIt feels better.Roll bus roll, take me offA rolled sweatshirt makes the window softIf I fall asleep, don't wake me up.Roll bus roll, take me up.Two weeks in England, two weeks in town.Another hundred bucks of medication down.Another email that I need to send.Another situation that I have to end.A midnight coming on a Monday nightI'm gonna go again I might not be alright_____ pill, and it's still the same42nd Street, Greyhound again.If I get one seat, I hope it's the window.And if I get two seats I'll just lie down.But if I get one seat and it's just the aisle,I'll be asleep before the second mile.And then the bus is just inside of meSomewhere inside my brain is meSomewhere inside me is my brainSomewhere in my brain is me again.So roll bus roll, take me offA rolled sweatshirt makes the window softIf I fall asleep, don't wake me up.Roll bus roll, take me up.
