Roll It Off Your Skin

from La Dolce Vita by ZOPA

/

lyrics

Well you’re so filled
Man, it should overflow
Touched a bit by fortune
Man, you better must obey

Approaching now it comes your hour
And you frown
Bought for some cheap occasion on 8th Street
When it dawned on you, you should leave

Born under all the right signs
But you missed the initiation
Frightened you might get what you want
Frightened more you’d buy it still
Delaying all responsibilities
Now you sleep alone
You dance alone
Sha la la la la la

And now it’s been a month or three
Don’t know my new number yet
Best to get some from some friend
Better still if you regret
Slowly you may find
That I’ve changed
Knowing what you know
Knowing what I know

As you try to address it
You try to destroy it
You touch and you toy with it
Over, under, never to begin again.

And now that you’re the king of Troy
With your castle and your legions and ministers
Only waiting for the day
When you make your man out of clay
If you see me walking your way
Do you turn around and run, run, away
Find a clever turn of phrase

Do you roll it off your skin?
