Roll Call - Peter Murphy Lyrics

5 s Roll Call Lyrics[Verse 1]
On a long and winding grey paved street
Your breath the only friend
Chattering others surrounding you
You're going out again
"It's a laugh and a gas new crowd"
You tell yourself
While buttoning up your new red shirt
It's been a-twenty years of doing this
Just the same night into night
Day into day
Oh, with your preset mind

[Verse 2]
Wake up with a preset mind
With no self control
And you decide to call the Roll Call of the socialites
Who mortified, can't see as far as their next surprise
Yeah, happy with nothing but the sweet F.A. of the night
Believing that they're alive and well
But if asked, they have nothing to tell
Except the words of a clashing line
Ill kempt and out of sync
Even real sounds like the zero
To a brain in lip sync
You might also like[Chorus]
Roll
Roll
Roll
Roll

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
On a long and winding grey paved street
Your breath the only friend
Chattering others surrounding you
You're going out again
"It's a laugh and a gas new crowd"
You tell yourself
While buttoning up your new red shirt
It's been a-twenty years of doing this
Just the same night into night
Day into day
Forget your preset mind

[Chorus]
Roll
Roll
Roll
Roll
