Guided by Voices - Get to know the Ropes - The Rope lyrics

(R. Pollard)

{chorus}

I'm positive Roy

that your not the one

To look behind pillars of marble

A time to be killing (puny) and cold

I know that when we have to contend

I know you'll try to open your head

And then they'll start looking around your mind

and you won't be feeling so numb (young) this time

and one grey wintertime

the ropes fall around you

A mountain of detail that I never talked about

minor but nothing no way

{chorus}

and one grey winter (time) and

one grey winter

It keeps you from walking away with the crowd

It keeps you from walking away with the crowd

and one grey winter

It keeps you from walking away with the crowd

and one grey winter

It keeps you from walking away with the crowd

Ladies and Gentleman, Back by popular demand

for your entainment and spirtual enlightment

Electric jam soul aquariam
