Styx - Earl Of Roseland lyrics

EARL OF ROSELAND

Oh oh oh oh oh

Penny pitching on the walk

Waiting for the bus to arrive

Me and davy playing sport

Watching for the cops to go by

Spider man and the human torch

They cover barney?s newsstand

Morning crowds start to gather round

Fast finger steals what he can

Morning leaves for the afternoon

The boys show up on time

In the streets near the people?s store

Below the electrical sign

Catch a glimpse of a passing car

Raced and ready to drag

Then the skirts start to tantalize

The boys how they boast and they brag

Oh the earl of roseland

Oh the earl of roseland

Where has he gone?

A memory at dawn

You?re just a bit of the past

[guitar solo]

Oh oh oh oh

Oh the earl of roseland

Oh the earl of roseland

Me and davy gazing back

See ourselves as we were

How we laugh when we think of things

That we did yesteryear

I can see charlie on the porch

Johnny clicking his sticks

And two boys I don?t even know

Rehearsing electric string tricks

Ya ya ya ya ya ya

Oh the earl of roseland

Oh the earl of roseland

Oh the earl of roseland

Oh the earl of roseland

Oh the earl of roseland

Oh the earl of roseland

Oh the earl of roseland

Oh the earl of roseland
