Roll Over - Thompson Twins

Father John earned his keep

Preachin' to the women on the easy street for free

Roll over again

(give me drum)

Thirty years played his trade

Lookin' for heaven on a silver plate

Roll over again

If only he knew it didn’t have to be that way

Ohh, the promised land

Was just another slice of the cake

Round and round,

It’s always round and round we go

(round and round we go)

Yeah, where it leads us

Nobody knows

(nobody) No, no,

Dance and dance

Why must we dance our lives away

(dance our lives away)

How much it bleeds us

No-one can say

(say say say say)

Jezebel made her way,

Sliding around on dirty sheets all day

So roll over again

(Ow!)

She lived for years

With the fear

That real true love might never come her way

Roll over again

If only she knew it didn’t have to be that way

Yeah, and true romance

Was just another slice of the cake

You and me,

Chasing dreams

We can’t see the forest for the trees

We roll over again

(yeah)

Me and you

Dance so well

Just like John and Jezebel

We roll over again

(whoa-oh-oh-oh, let’s dance!)

No one can say
