Jeffrey Lewis - Roll Bus Roll

Lyrics -

Roll bus roll, take me off

A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft

If I fall asleep, dont wake me up.

Roll bus roll, take me up.

Midnight coming on a Monday night.

Im gonna go again because I dont feel right.

Quickpack, knapsack, Quicksnack, Quicktrain.

42nd street, Greyhound again.

Roll bus roll, take me off

A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft

If I fall asleep, dont wake me up.

Roll bus roll, take me up.

Old bodegas and old streetlights

Harlem looks so warm tonight.

All those cheap desserts memory hurts, I could die,

I gotta to take 2 Tylenols and close my eyes.

Roll bus roll, take me off

A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft

If I fall asleep, dont wake me up.

Roll bus roll, take me up.

I wasnt designed to move so fast

I wasnt designed to have so much past

And in my minds eye they all have so much fun,

Nowhere to hide, and nowhere to run

And then the sun setting on my youth makes that old shadow get taller,

Oh But its all fine as long as the bus makes the city behind me get smaller and smaller.

Roll bus roll, take me off

A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft

If I fall asleep, dont wake me up.

Roll bus roll, take me up.

Two weeks in England, two weeks in town.

Another hundred bucks of medication down.

Another sorry message that I need to send.

And another situation that I have to end.

A midnight coming on a Monday night

Im gonna go again I might not be alright

Its a bitter pill, and its still the same

42nd Street, Greyhound again.

If I get one seat, I hope its the window.

And if I get two seats Ill just lie down.

But if I get one seat and its just the aisle,

Ill still be asleep before the hundreth mile.

And then inside some tiny dream,

and inside that somekind of me,

and outside us rolls the bus and the time will go by till inside me I am asleep,

Then roll bus roll, take me off

A rolled sweatshirt makes the window soft

If I fall asleep, dont wake me up.

Roll bus roll, take me up.

Anybody here seen regarding the following: Growth 247 Formula ? Clearly it happens to be becoming particularly successful because many people are actually increasing their own height considerably. Even my own cousin grew to 6 ft just by testing the formula. Just google: Growth 247 formula to research more information.

He's something else isn't he :) Coming into contact with him and his music was a blessing of sorts and even though the lyrics are sometimes nihilistic he gives the listener a lot of hope.

@maryeyal Man, i wish i spoke hebrew. Your automatically cooler than us. haha. Google translation of that:הלוואי שאני מדבר עברית, זה יהיה מדהים. כי באופן אוטומטי גורם לך קריר יותר מאשר לנו.

My love for this song is unmeasurable, every time I listen to it I get this feeling that I get from no other song, it's just perfect, that's the only word for it.

@maryeyal תכלס אם ההפקה הייתה מראה אותה באור יותר חיובי היא הייתה מנצחת ובאמת מגיע לה. אבל זה יהיה ג'קי נופר או ליהיא. רק שזה לא יהיה ג'קי הדפר הזה...

בזכות סיוון הקשבתי. כמה מתאים לה להמשיך להתגלגל ולא לקום... רק שמישהו אחר ינהג:)

Not to harp, but the artist for the image in the video is Daniel Hyun Lim of Los Angeles. The title of the image is "Underwaterdeer". Jeff Lewis is great musician, though the image is unrelated.
