Big shout out!
I got one more life
Can you see it? I'm wasting away
But I got a plan
Oh, do you understand?
And with a drugstore wife
I was dealing, sold a bit of the white
I won't shake no hands
Oh, 'cause death has no fans
But here we are, the rolling people
Can't stay for long, we gotta go
So come alive with the rolling people
Don't ask why, we just know
I'm on a big jet plane
With my briefcase and crime in my veins
I'll be the first to toast
Yeah, to my rotten soul
But here we are, the rolling people
Don't ask why, we don't know
So come alive with the rolling people
Don't ask why, we just know now, yeah
Tell me if you know which way I'm going to
The lights are on and I am feeling blue
I hope you know which way I'm going to fly
Thank you for my life, I said good night, goodbye
You see me going
But here we are, the rolling people
Can't stay for long, we gotta go
So come alive with the rolling people
Don't ask why, we don't know now, yeah
Rolling on and on and on and on
You know I'm burning up, and up, and up, and up, yeah
It doesn't look that bad
I can see my dad
Yeah, it doesn't look that bad
Oh, it doesn't look that bad
Oh, gonna take you home now
I'm gonna take you home now
Gonna take you home now
Gonna take you home now
Gonna take you home now
We're gonna take you home now now now
We're gonna take you home now now
We're gonna take you home now now now
We're gonna take you home now
We're gonna take you home now
We're gonna take you home now
We're gonna take you home now
We're gonna take you home now
We're gonna take you home now
We're gonna take you home now
We're gonna take you home now
