The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm positive Roy
that your not the one
To look behind pillars of marble
A time to be killing (puny) and cold
I know that when we have to contend
I know you'll try to open your head
And then they'll start looking around your mind
and you won't be feeling so numb (young) this time
and one grey wintertime
the ropes fall around you
A mountain of detail that I never talked about
minor but nothing no way
I'm positive Roy
that your not the one
To look behind pillars of marble
A time to be killing (puny) and cold
and one grey winter (time) and
one grey winter
It keeps you from walking away with the crowd
It keeps you from walking away with the crowd
and one grey winter
It keeps you from walking away with the crowd
and one grey winter
It keeps you from walking away with the crowd
Ladies and Gentleman, Back by popular demand
for your entainment and spirtual enlightment
Electric jam soul aquariam
