"Roosevelt's Marching Band" lyrics
"Roosevelt's Marching Band"
I've stayed
Another phase come 'round
Samsara bound to
With legs to dream
And miles to go
Still haven't found you
I'm sinking on a weighed-down brain
To see what lingers
Unhealthy every place we drank
And face another day like this
With every minute
Every hour draining slowly
'Til you can't take it
But you only have to wait
And they come back
Roosevelt's marching band
Coming up the street
Give them a hand
Bringing it to us
Gladly where we stand
They play the great ones
'Til it's all gone
I call, but eight is way too late
I squeeze my fingers
And pray to hear another breath
Cliché of kitchens
Driven nails
And I'm the chair man
The table man
The cloth man
And I'll be patient
I'll only have to wait
'Til you come back
Roosevelt's marching band
Coming up the street
Give them a hand
Bringing it to us
Gladly where we stand
They play the great ones
'Til it's all gone
I'm drowning in a loser's cycle
Week to week
I'm running out of patience
And it's lonely since you're gone

Built To Spill - "Life In Vain" Don't wanna be free of hope
And I'm at the end of my rope
It's so tough just to be alive
When I feel like the living dead
I'm giving it up so plain
I'm living my life in vain
And where am I going...
Grandaddy - "The Crystal Lake" Should never have left the crystal lake
For parties full of folks who flake
Italian leather winter games
Retired by the duraflames
The crystal lake it only laughs
It knows you're just a modern man...
J Mascis - "Circle" Me, I'm a party of circular friends
And we, notice you don't come around
And me, I think it all depends
On you
Touching ground with us
I quit, I give up, nothings good enough for anybody else
It...
Galaxie 500 - "Strange" Why's everybody acting funny?
Why's everybody look so strange?
Why's everybody look so nasty?
What do I want with all these things?
I went alone down to the drugstore
I went in back and took a Coke...
