Rollin' And Tumblin'

THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM · Get Hurt 2014 · Track 07 of 17

Written by The Gaslight Anthem

I don't think I'm goin' out anymore You 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 wanna say is my head is a hurricane Well l-l-l-let me sleep on that, uh huh, alright. You say I'm hopelessly devoted to misery Well I don't wanna be so devoted no more, aw yeah

And all of my friends wanna get into heaven And all I keep thinkin' is "I wish you were here" I heard that they been callin' me "The Great Depression" Rollin' and tumblin', breakin' my own heart again

Shimmy shimmy shake baby right in my blood stream I don't know what it was that got in my room. My ticker-tape heart broke and everything shook in here But I learned it could be worse.

So what you wanna say is my head is a weather-vane Spinning with the wind chime, right. Baby I was born on the fourth of July, Exploding like a firework, aw yeah

And all of my friends wanna get into heaven And all I keep thinkin' is "I wish you were here" I heard that they been callin' me "The Great Depression" Rollin' and tumblin'

And all of my friends wanna get into heaven And all I keep thinkin' is "I wish you were here" I heard that they been callin' 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 then you lean on my best friends Until you find better weather And you take a vacation I heard you got all my letters Signed "The Great Depression" Baby rollin' and tumblin'
