Elbow - Roll Call

Roll Call
Run to rent the empty air

I'm not digging deep tonight
The street's alive with one man shows
Should have stayed in the Dutchman's place
That's the last I trust my nose

Unsurprising dashed advances
Way too fucked to be flinging woo
And I'm mountain high and fizzing with fantasy blue
Trying to find you

Circumnavigate the plaza
Hermit crab men do the swerve
Murder Maid and Abdominal Showman
Find the romance they deserve

God of taxi laughing at me
Bonhomie flowing down the drain
And the river deep singing you're never sleeping again
And I'm trying to find you

When I'm lost at sea
On the crested white tops
My cavalry
With arms for forever
Come scooping me up
Like a kid in a bath towel
Smoothing my feathers
With arms for forever
