The Gaslight Anthem - Rollin' and Tumblin' lyrics
[The Gaslight Anthem - Rollin' and Tumblin' lyrics]
I don't think I'm going out anymore
You'd better find some other body to comfort
When I was trembling, baby, you was a diamond
But, you ain't a diamond no more
So what you want to say is
My head is a hurricane
Well let me sleep on that, uh huh, all right
You say I'm hopelessly devoted to misery
Well I don't want to be so devoted no more
And all of my friends want to get into heaven
And all I keep thinking is
I wish you were here
I heard that they've been calling
Me the Great Depression
Rollin' and tumblin'
Breaking my own heart again
Shimmy, shimmy, shake
Baby right in my bloodstream
I don't know what it was that got in my room
My ticker tape heart broke and
Everything shook in here
But, I heard it could be worse
So what you want to say is
My head is a weathervane
Spinning with the wind chime, right
Maybe I was born on the Fourth of July
Exploding like a firework
And all of my friends want to get into heaven
And all I keep thinking is
I wish you were here
I heard that they've been calling
Me the Great Depression rollin' and tumblin'
And all of my friends want to get into heaven
And all I keep thinking is
I wish you were here
I heard that they've been calling
Me the Great Depression rollin' and tumblin'
So should I take everything
All your temporary medicines?
Should I take your reds, your blues
And your cocaine? Should I take something to
Try on the weekend?
Should I take anything?
Or did you mean everything?
When I hit the wall, wrecked from it all
You put flowers down on the cold ground
And cry me a river and assure me I'm crazy
While you question the answers
And you lean on my best friends
Until you find better weather
And you take a vacation
I hope you got all my letters
Signed the Great Depression
Baby, rollin' and tumblin'
You'd better find some other body to comfort
When I was trembling, baby, you was a diamond
But, you ain't a diamond no more
So what you want to say is
My head is a hurricane
Well let me sleep on that, uh huh, all right
You say I'm hopelessly devoted to misery
Well I don't want to be so devoted no more
And all of my friends want to get into heaven
And all I keep thinking is
I wish you were here
I heard that they've been calling
Me the Great Depression
Rollin' and tumblin'
Breaking my own heart again
Shimmy, shimmy, shake
Baby right in my bloodstream
I don't know what it was that got in my room
My ticker tape heart broke and
Everything shook in here
But, I heard it could be worse
So what you want to say is
My head is a weathervane
Spinning with the wind chime, right
Maybe I was born on the Fourth of July
Exploding like a firework
And all of my friends want to get into heaven
And all I keep thinking is
I wish you were here
I heard that they've been calling
Me the Great Depression rollin' and tumblin'
And all of my friends want to get into heaven
And all I keep thinking is
I wish you were here
I heard that they've been calling
Me the Great Depression rollin' and tumblin'
So should I take everything

Signed the Great Depression
Baby, rollin' and tumblin'
