Karr’s Lament

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There are ghosts in the street And the window is open There's the sound of a catfight in the rain And the smell of the earth Where the storm is broken And the howl of a southbound train [Pre-Chorus 1] And the water's sewing sequins on the glass I'm not here to answer so don't even ask [Chorus] 'Cause the road rolls on Yeah the road rolls on [Verse 2] Will you take me out Oh, to where the sky is full Of music from the traffic of the town I've got a head for drinking And I've got money in my pocket And I wanna try and turn this night around [Pre-Chorus 2] And the poundstore Romeos all want a fight And their breath is thick with Jagerbombs and appetite [Chorus] But the road rolls on Yeah the road rolls on [Verse 3] So I'll turn off the radio And I'll turn out the light Let the darkness wrap its arms around my waist There's a full moon out there somewhere And it's sailing on the ocean Lighting up another stranger's face [Pre-Chorus 3] And somewhere there's a song I haven't heard And somewhere there are crosshairs on a mockingbird [Chorus] But the road rolls on Yeah the road rolls on Yeah the road rolls on
