Roll Call Lyrics - Peter Murphy

Roll Call 

On a long and winding grey paved street 

Your breath the only friend 

Chattering others surrounding you 

You're going out again 

It's a laugh and a gas new crowd 

You tell yourself 

While buttoning up a new red shirt 

It's been a twenty years of doing this 

Just the same night into night 

Day into day 

with your preset mind

Refresh Your Christmas Playlist With These 10 Modern Holiday Tracks 

Wake up with a preset mind 

With no self control 

And you decide to call the Roll Call 

Of the socialites who mortified 

Can't see as far as their next surprise 

Yah, happy with nothing but the sweet F.A. of the night 

Believing that they're alive and well 

But if asked 

They have nothing to tell 

Except the words of a clashing rhyme 

I'll calmed and out of sync 

Even real sounds like a zero 

To a brain in lip sync 

Roll'

On a long and winding grey paved street 

Your breath the only friend 

Chattering others surrounding you 

You're going out again 

It's a laugh and a gas new crowd 

You tell yourself 

While buttoning up a new red shirt 

It's been a twenty years of doing this 

Just the same night into night 

Day into day 

Forget your preset mind 

Roll to the end
