Rusted Root : Rusted Root
Lyrics
1. SHE ROLL ME UP
Levitate my song
Into an open space
Levitate my song
I'll do my best
In this conversation
She roll me up
My best alone
My best alone
Well lift me higher
Lift me, lift me higher, higher
Lift me, lift me higher, higher
Levitate my song
Into an open space
Levitate my song
No one will trace.
Cause my friend I
I see you smileA
And I know you're a gift
Of the human heart
And I'm breaking open
Towards your love
Sometimes I'm working so hard
I don't even know my own name.
Levitate my song
Into an open space
Levitate my song
No one will trace.
Cause this is my life
And I feel like beaming
Straight into your heart
Feels like only yesterday
You were on my side.
Send her my love
Send her my love
Send her all the words to say
Cause in my heart
I don't believe
She can hurt me anymore.
Return me
Transform me, return me
Cause I'm howling in the daylight
Yes I'm howling and it's new.
I'll do my best
In this conversation
She roll me up
she roll me up
Lift me, lift me higher
Levitate my song
Levitate my song
No one will trace
Lift me, lift me higher, lift me higher
Lift me, lift me higher, lift me higher.
2. RISING SUN
I know you don't like it butcha
Feeling like the rising sun
On the holy holy road
Out there on that line.
I know I dreamt of you
But I'm starting to unwind
Cause I'm in transit here
I'm coming out to that line.
Elevate my life, my prayer
I'm a gonna
Demonstrate this love
And when I get down
In this love affair
I'm a gonna
Demonstrate this love.
It was such a long day
And it ended about an hour ago
I got us some milkshakes
Now let's head off
And see the show
I know you don't like it butcha
Feeling like the rising sun
With many more miles to go
Many more miles to go.
Ele-elevate my life
My prayer
I'm a gonna
Demonstrate this love
And when I get down
In this love affair
I'm a gonna
Demonstrate this love.
The devil's been tailgating me
From the dark side of town
But he's just a little guy
Can hardly see
Over the dashboard he says
I know you don't like it butcha
Feeling like the rising sun
With many more miles to go
Many more miles to go.
All in a day
You got yours and I got mine
But they don't care to see
That our love
Is a fortune bright.
Ele elevate my life
My prayer
I'm a gonna
Demonstrate this love
And when I get down
In this love affair
I'm a gonna
Demonstrate this love.
3. MAGENTA RADIO
Went down to a second hand store
To buy some clothes
Like I used to wear before
Curly haired Sally says she
Likes me a little better this way.
Everything I wish for
I know I could
Only if everything I could
I didn't wish for
It's a good day in the usa
Stripped down
To your Uncle long johns
Well no thanks
I'm good
Here in my magenta radio.
Do do do do do do do do do
Here In my magenta radio
Well can I say something
Just a little more
I bet you we could talk
Into the morning honey
I bet you we never
See the morning
Without a hornet
Buzzing around our door
Cause everytime I look
Into your mirror
I see smoke from your gun
We both got itchy triggers
And we wear them for fun
We got two stories to tell
And I think one of them is wrong
Well no thanks
I'm good
Here in my magenta radio
Do do do do do do do.
Hold me my lady
Cause we all love
Even when we try
Hold me my lady
Cause we all love
Even when we try.
When we try
we don't know our name
When we try
But we don't know our name.
I see us kissing the Earth
Lovers of our way to be
Trying on shoes
That don't really fit our feet
All in a dream we got burnt
All in a dream we got hurt
But we try, we try and we try and we
Hold me my lady
Cause we all love
Even when we try
Hold me my lady
Cause we all love
Even when we try
But we don't know our name.
4. MY LOVE
My love
For you will never die
Rise up in this moment
Assembled in the light
We are like a flower
Petaled in delight
Breathe so gently
In and out the light.
To wake the love
Give the love away
To wake the love
Give the love away away.
Light over the valley
Comes to all
See in each other
Reflection from above
We are like a flower
Petaled in delight
Breathe so gently
In and out the light.
To wake the love
Give the love away
To wake the love
Give the love away.
Away on this journey
These words will pass you by
Holy mistakening
Hear echoed our cry
Shala.
My love for you is in my life
Rise up in this moment
Assembled in the light
Breathe so gently
In and out the light.
To wake the love
Give the love away.
5. LIVE A LONG TIME
Southside
Dreamtime
Birds eye
Hairstyle
Go team
Row Team
Its got appeal
Broad appeal
Into the sublime.
Well ok
Reset
High score
Overlord
New day
New name
Standup
State your name
Like water into wine.
The world's in my head
Say let the wicked come
The world's in my head
Burn like fireflies.
Horse race
Dog face
Go astray
Days away
White nois
Georgia o'keefe
Gaze away into the sun.
Well hot pillow
Hairstyle
Comb it awhile
Gomer Pyle
That's the way it goes
Hair gel for men
Pose in your underwear.
The world's in my head
Say let the wicked come
The world's in my head
Burn like fireflies.
Oh you never know
Who will come
And who will stay
Oh you never know
Who will come
And who will stay
Stay
Live a long time
Today
Live a long time
Today
Live a long time with me.
The world's in my head
Say let the wicked come
The world's in my head
Burn like fireflies.
Oh you never know
Who will come
And who will stay
Oh you never know
Who will come
And who will stay
Stay
Live a long time
Today
Burn Out
Walk About
Tadpole
Dust Bowl
It's high noon
Bring me my ocean
In a cup.
You're days away
You're hours away
Stay awhile
Stoke the fire
Romance the slow dance.
6. KILL YOU DEAD
The poundin' in my head alone
Could kill you dead
Like a 44
Tell me who... who
Who's it gonna be
when you're dead on the floor
The poundin' in my head alone
Could kill you dead
Like a 44
Tell me where...where
Is the way to the door
The poundin' in my head alone
Could kill you dead
To get along
The poundin' in my head alone
Could kill you dead
To get along.
Roll roll my lady love
She don't want my love
To go astray
Well I say who...who
Who's it gonna be
when you have games to play
I'm gettin' tired of this crazy bone
It's like suckin' blood from a stone
Well tell me where...where
Is the taste I used to know.
The poundin' in my head alone
Could kill you dead
To get along
The poundin' in my head alone
Could kill you dead
To get along.
I hope a day never goes by
Without lookin' into your eyes
You're my love
You're my prayer.
The poundin' in my head alone
Could kill you dead like a 44
Tell me who...who...
Who's it gonna be
When you're dead on the floor
I'm tangled to the left
And I'm tangled to the right
Your clumsy paws
keep crossing my line
I guess our love began
Somewhere along
These power lines.
The poundin' in my head alone
Could kill you dead
Like a 44.
7. AIRPLANE
Spread these wings open wide
Open wide to my grave
Spread these wings open wide
Open wide shed these braves.
We only know our love is for you
We only know our love is for you.
In the end you're a page
Of words laying across the sky
Even the airplanes gaze away
Ah but they never look down
To read what you say.
We only know our love is for you
We only know our love is for you.
8. AGBADZA
We only know our love is for you.
We only know our love is for you.
We only know our love is for you.
9. MOON
We have not traveled very far
We have not traveled very far
For in the circle I see
And in the fire will be a dying sun.
I swear I saw the moon move
Glide across the sky with a star at it's side
It's crescent shape is out tonight with opal shadow hiding By
And I swear I saw the moon move.
I'm singing about some kind of pain sits outside from where The fire burns
All of you huddled in the earth I am touching the surface, I am
Let me bend into the fire let it dry my skin
It waits to be part of the fire
Let the healing begin let the healing begin.
I am sifting through glass chards of wisdom pains
I am tearing them out one by one one by one
They've been buried so long I had chose to ignore them
But slowly they surface and cut through my skin.
I swear on my conscience
If you tell me twice my good Lord I will suffer your will Again
I swear I'll move through this
If you tell me twice my good Lord I will suffer your will Again
Suffer your will again
If you tell me twice my good Lord Suffer your will again
If you tell me twice my good Lord.
For in the circle I see and in the fire will be a dying sun
For in the circle I see and in the fire will be a dying sun.
If you tell me twice my good lord
Never suffer your will again
If you tell me twice my good lord
Never suffer your will again.
And I swear I saw the moon move
Glide across the sky with the stars all in line
I'm standing here watching the fire grow
As everyone sees it and cuts through their own
And I swear I saw the moon move.
10. AWAY FROM
It's in this hour
It's in my blood
I'm awake in you
And all these witnesses
They stare me in the face
This time I won't wait too long
To turn away
Fleeing from my head
Till the dawn
The dawn.
Cause when all I feel
Has been taken from my mouth
This no time is real
Until I've compared it
To myself
And still I couldn't be further.
It's in your faces
Familiar and true
It's what brings me here
In front of you
I'm coming on like a dove
Stitching love.
Through this crude amplification
I call your bluff
And all these gods
They wait for us now
In no time we see
No reason for my doubt
And still I couldn't be further.
I've been away from
I've been away from
I've been away from you
I've been away from you you you.
Time won't wait for no one
This time won't wait
For you
This time will wait
For no one.
Circle up, circle home
On this remembrance day
Circle up, circle home
On this remembrance day.
Walk, walk, river walk
Running in my mind
Walk, walk, river walk
Walking all the time
Walk, walk, river walk
Running in my mind
But I don't want to walk alone.
11. FLOWER
Here we stand again
In the year 1999
But you're so far
But yet so close.
And in the ancestral rays of the sun
We're passing time in the video store
Remembering all the things
That we were.
But I've been pushed back
To the cradle
Though I believe I'm bigger now
Although I'm lonely as a flower.
In the alabaster lazy sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lazy sun.
Alabaster lazy sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lazy sun
In my day.
And I swung the door wide open
Yes I've done my deeds adorned
When I crashed into your building.
And I hope you don't cry to long
Huddled in debris land
But tomorrow's perfect
Tomorrow's Tuesday.
In the alabaster lazy sun
Never long time for the weepin'
Alabaster lazy sun
In my day.
Alabaster lazy sun
Never long time for the weepin'
Alabaster lazy sun
In my day.
But darlin' don't you weep
Silver and gold
Aren't we lonely as a flower
Climbing above these walls.
Aren't we lonely as a flower
Climbing above the walls
Well let's forget these stupid buildings
Come on my lover take the fall.
In the alabaster lazy sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lazy sun
In my day.
Alabaster lazy sun
Never long time for the weeping
Alabaster lazy sun
In my day
In my day
My day
My day.
I can remember when
Rock 'n' roll was somewhat of a God
Leaving us naked and so alive
But now it's just a two day masquerade
I guess I'll go to the corn fields and pray.
12. YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was going
To meet her connection
I could tell
By her blood stained hands.
You can't always get
What you want
You can't always get
What you want
No you can't always get
What you want
But if you try sometimes
Well you might find
You get what you need.
I went down
To the Chelsea drug store
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line
With Mr. Jimmy
And man
Did he look pretty ill
We decided
That we would have a soda
My favorite flavor vanilla cream
And I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
And he said one word to me
And that was dead.
You can't always get
What you want
You can't always get
What you want
No you can't always get
What you want
But if you try sometimes
Well you might find
You get what you need.
I went down
To the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Saying we're gonna vent
Our frustration
And if we don't we're gonna blow
A fifty amp fuse.
