Lyrics

Roll Into A Ball

1. He stared into the screen
Glossy pictures for a magazine
Brain seeping like margarine again.

2. There must be some way out,
He heard his conscience shout,
But he?d been on this roundabout before.

If I roll into a ball
Bounce myself over every wall
Disconnect every telephone
Will the world leave me alone?

3. She worked in Nowheresville,
Punching numbers into a till,
Saw her future all downhill from here.

4. She thought when she was young,
When her life had just begun,
She could have been someone back then.

If I roll into a ball
Make myself seem really small
If I empty every vein
Will the world let me start again?

My dreams are what keep me alive
My spirit needs imagination
You put my world against the knife
Your concrete soul just hides a fear and desparation.

5. They met on a holiday,
Ten days in Key West reading Hemingway,
Found comfort in a sadness they could share.

6. Now they?re on each other?s side,
When they feel their spirits slide,
Got a little hope deep inside somewhere.

If I roll into a ball
Will you hear me when I call?
If I scream until the pain is gone
Will the world let me carry on?
