Roll Call lyrics
by Elbow
[Chorus]
Roll call
Run to ride the empty air, the empty air
Roll call
Run to ride the empty air, the air, the empty air
[Verse 1]
I’m not digging deep tonight
The street's alive with one man shows
Should've stayed in Dutchman's place
That's the last I trust my nose
Unsurprising dashed advances
Way too f*cked to be flinging woo
And a mountain high and fizzing with fantasy blue
I try and find you
[Chorus]
Roll call
Run to ride the empty air, the empty air
Roll call
Run to ride the empty air, the air, the empty air
[Verse 2]
Circ*mnavigate the plaza
Hermit crab then do the swerve
Murder main and abdominal showman
Find the romance they deserve
Got a taxi laughing at me
Follow me falling down the drain
And the river keeps singing you're never sleeping again
I've been trying to find you
[Outro]
When I'm lost at sea
On the cresting white tops
My cavalry
With arms for forever
Comes swooping me up
Like a kid in a bath towel
Smoothing my feathers
With arms for forever
When I'm lost at sea
On the cresting white tops
My cavalry
With arms for forever
Comes swooping me up
Like a kid in a bath towel
Smoothing my feathers
With arms for forever
(Roll call)
(Run to ride the empty air, the empty air)
(Roll call)
(Run to ride the empty air, the air, the empty air)
When I'm lost at sea
On the cresting white tops
My cavalry
With arms for forever
Comes swooping me up
Like a kid in a bath towel
Smoothing my feathers
With arms for forever
(Roll call)
(Run to ride the empty air, the empty air)
(Roll call)
(Run to ride the empty air, the air, the empty air)
When I'm lost at sea
On the cresting white tops
My cavalry
With arms for forever
Comes swooping me up
Like a kid in a bath towel
Smoothing my feathers
With arms for forever
(Roll call)
(Run to ride the empty air, the empty air)
(Roll call)
(Run to ride the empty air, the air, the empty air)
