Rocky Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - Ben Folds Five

We were in a park and I could jump so far 

Seems like all I'd ever done 

Was smoking pot out in the car and this fear faded in 

From the death of kids in my old school 

He says, "Ben, we both know you're asleep 

I've been running through these fields 

It's such a lovely place you dream, is it your imagination? 

It's been years since I've been on my feet" 

Now it's Rocky's day, send his soul on its way 

The sun won't be coming out today 

Now it's Rocky's day and this time he went away 

The sun won't be coming out today 

Now I recall but I don't know who told me 

Rocky was a runner, won a medal back in school 

Now at Christmas, momma says 

"You go up with me to Rocky's room" 

And as we watch the sun go down 

He thanked me for my dreams he says 

"I know you think you are but you're not completely free 

The man who's seen the scepter of departure is completely free" 

Now it's Rocky's day, send his soul on it's way 

The sun won't be coming out today now it's Rocky's day 

And this time he went away 

The sun won't be coming out today 

Then he smiled and he turned and walked away 

He said over his shoulder, "I'll be gone when you're awake" 

Now it's Rocky's day, send his soul on it's way 

The sun won't be coming out today 

Now it's Rocky's day and this time he went away 

The sun won't be coming out today
