<br>Roll bus roll take me off <br>A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft <br>If I fall asleep don’t wake me up. <br>Roll bus roll take me up. <br> <br>Midnight coming on a Monday night. <br>I’m gonna go again because I don’t feel right. <br>Quickpack knapsack Quicksnack Quicktrain. <br>42nd street Greyhound again. <br> <br>Roll bus roll take me off <br>A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft <br>If I fall asleep don’t wake me up. <br>Roll bus roll take me up. <br> <br>Old bodegas and old streetlights <br>Harlem looks so warm tonight. <br>All those cheap desserts memory hurts I could die <br>I gotta to take 2 Tylenols and close my eyes. <br> <br>Roll bus roll take me off <br>A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft <br>If I fall asleep don’t wake me up. <br>Roll bus roll take me up. <br> <br>I wasn’t designed to move so fast <br>I wasn’t designed to have so much past <br>And in my minds eye they all have so much fun <br>Nowhere to hide and nowhere to run <br> <br>And then the sun setting on my youth makes that old shadow get taller <br>Oh But its all fine as long as the bus makes the city behind me get smaller and smaller. <br> <br>Roll bus roll take me off <br>A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft <br>If I fall asleep don’t wake me up. <br>Roll bus roll take me up. <br> <br>Two weeks in England two weeks in town. <br>Another hundred bucks of medication down. <br>Another sorry message that I need to send. <br>And another situation that I have to end. <br> <br>A midnight coming on a Monday night <br>I’m gonna go again I might not be alright <br>Its a bitter pill and it’s still the same <br>42nd Street Greyhound again. <br> <br>If I get one seat I hope it’s the window. <br>And if I get two seats I’ll just lie down. <br>But if I get one seat and it’s just the aisle <br>I’ll still be asleep before the hundreth mile. <br> <br>And then inside some tiny dream <br>and inside that somekind of me <br>and outside us rolls the bus and the time will go by till inside me I am asleep <br> <br>Then roll bus roll take me off <br>A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft <br>If I fall asleep don’t wake me up. <br>Roll bus roll take me up.<br><!-- stopprint -->
