It's the heart of the country

That keeps me from you tonight

There's a part of this newborn silence

I'm bound to satellite
[Refrão]

Or just the death-rattle of the vending machine?

No, you can't just roll with it

[Verso 2]
Dm Bb
Streaming words moves across your tongue
F Gm C
Like migrating herds on a crowded plain explaining we're not the same
Dm Bb F
As we were back then when we filled our bowls at the riverbend

How can you miss the taste of all that industrial waste?
[Refrão]

Is that your gospl I can hear

[Verso 3]
Dm
I kpt your poems in a biscuit tin
Bb F Gm
With the bones of the mice that the cat dragged in some years before
C
She stashed them under the floor
Dm
But I don't read them so much these days
Bb F
They were always kind of beyond me anyway
Gm
I think you were trying to say
C
You can't love when you're afraid
[Refrão]
Bb
Was that some whisper of desire
F C
Or just a glitch from a fault in the wire?
Bb
Still won't quit
F C Bb
No, you can't just roll with it
F C
No, you can't just roll with it
