Roller (Album Version) Lyrics

IT WAS THE LOCAL FRIDAY STRANGER

AT LONELY CORNER

PRETTY KITTY WIGGLING TAIL

OR WAS IT JUST AN EMPTY PROMISE

JUST A SHADOW ON A DEAD-END STREET WALL

THERE WHERE THE WATER RAN TOO HIGH

THERE WHERE THE RABBITS RAN FREE AND WILD

HERE IN THE CITY WE’RE NAKED AND

THEY WON’T BE WATCHING ME

HERE IN THIS CITY WE’RE BREAKING AND

THEY WON’T BE WATCHING ME

PARASITES ON POETS

PRETTY GENERALS ON BUTTERFLIES OF NIGHT

TROUBLED TIMES COMING UP-A-CLOSER

BETTER BABY, BETTER BABY BITES IT BACK

SOMETIMES THE BLOOD RULES AT THE STREETS

SOMETIMES THE HISTORY IS MISSING THE BALLS

HERE IN THE CITY WE’RE NAKED AND

THEY WON’T BE WATCHING ME

HERE IN THIS CITY WE’RE BREAKING AND

THEY WON’T BE WATCHING ME
