lyrics

My face is boiling
My face is a boiling
My words are spoiling, roll on
My vision is beginning to blur
My speech is starting slur
I’ve finally found my cure, roll on

Roll on the moneylender, no need to mention that I can’t afford
All the pills all the drugs the venders roll on, say roll on, roll on

I’m hearing dogs howl in the back of that aisle like a screaming child
It always sounds so familiar
I’m slowly slipping in, maybe I can find myself a kin
Give him this position I’ve been forced in roll on

Hold in the waste, we long to be replaced
By the mother, she is crying
And her son is slowly shying away from the world
Turn his back, well that is the same thing as calling the kettle black
It’s on your tongue
Let it slide down your throat
And sweep it right under the rug
