Rolling People (20 Years Ago)

 

I got one more life

Can you see it wasting away?

But I got a plan

Do you understand?

The drugstore wife

I was dealing soul and other white

I won't shake your hands

'Cause death has no plans

But here we are the rolling people

Can't stay for long

We gotta go

So come alive with the rolling poeple

Don't ask why

We just know

I'm on a big jet plane

With my briefcase and crime in my veins

I'll be the first to toast

To my rotten soul
