On The Roof

On The Roof

Adverts (The)
(album: Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts)

Blank-faced,
Was this what our elders taught?
Dim the lights and live like story book.
I can´t focus for the pinball.
I´m all shook up and I think I see it all.
But I know that it ain´t that simple.

I got loose.
Up on the roof.
Waiting for you.

Two-faced,
Was this was out elders taught?
We´re human too,
indulge in small talk.
I take a walk down the alley.
Some drunk half-kills me.
We´re fighting on the floor for a ha´penny

I got loose.
Up on the roof.
Waiting for you.

Well, I guess I´m waiting for the punchline.
I´m a refugee with a rare find.
I´ve got a place where I can unwind.

I got loose.
Up on the roof.
Waiting for you.
We´ll hide
