Roll bus roll, take me off
A rolled sweatshirt makes the windows soft
If I fall asleep don’t wake me up
Roll bus roll take me up
Midnight humming on a Monday night
I’m gonna go again I might not feel alright
Nap-sac, soft pack, bumper car and a train
42nd street greyhound again
Roll bus roll, take me off
A rolled sweatshirt makes the windows soft
If I fall asleep don’t wake me up
Roll bus roll take me up
old bodegas and old street lights
Harlem looks so warm tonight
Just thinking about the sweet things makes me wanna cry
Gotta take two tylenols and close my eyes
Roll bus roll, take me off
A rolled sweatshirt makes the windows soft
If I fall asleep don’t wake me up
Roll bus roll take me up
I wasn’t designed to move so fast
I wasn’t designed to have so much past
I wasn’t designed for your kind of fun
So sometimes I stay and sometimes I run
And when I think that the sun is setting on my youth
Thinks that old shadow gets taller, I guess its fine
Just as long as the bus makes the city behind me get smaller and smaller
Roll bus roll, take me off
A rolled sweatshirt makes the windows soft
If I fall asleep don’t wake me up
Roll bus roll take me up
2 weeks in England 2 weeks in town
Another hundred bucks of medication down
Another e-mail that I need to send,
Another situation that I need to end
Midnight humming on a Monday night
I’m gonna go again I might not feel alright
It’s a bitter pill and it’s still the same
42nd street greyhound again
And if I get one seat I hope it the window
And if I get 2 seats ill just lie down
And if I get 1 seat and its just he aisle
Ill still be asleep for the hundredth mile
And then the bus is just inside of me
Then some where inside me there’s my brain
Then somewhere and then there’s the bus
And then somewhere and then there’s me again
Roll bus roll, take me off
A rolled sweatshirt makes the windows soft
If I fall asleep don’t wake me up
Roll bus roll take me up
Take me up _________________

cheers hamlet, I thought the 'old bodego's' was refering to a type of car
The pills I knew but didn't know how to spell _________________

Listening to the song again I hear he says "Tylenol" not "tuinol." That's an over-the-counter pain killer, acetominiphen, much less serious and not addictive. Sorry for the mistake. Maybe I'll try to edit it. |

I must have been thinking of the Anxiety Attack video when I thought of sleeping pills. It's much better to avoid those altogether and not wind up like Elvis. |

Yeah, the whole dead on a toilet thing doesn't really sound like fun to me! _________________

worth a read if you want a laugh
In Pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also call moxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin
Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin. Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink." Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: "MOUNT & DO"
Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research.
This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.... _________________
