Roller by THUMPERS Lyrics

[VERSE]
Roller rolls
Your hands high
Pulling hair
Your defences down
Breathing
Tasting iron
Now there’s laces on the ground
Torn out shreds being thrown around
Looking up at the holes that they made in those new blue skies
Running over fields
Now they’re on all sides
Doubled up in a carnival
Streamers made out of their ties
Howling calls to make you shy
Aiming stones in a fire fight
Looking up and you hope
For some wave to come from on high

[Chorus]
Back to paint you redder
Back to paint you redder
Back to paint you redder
Talk on top of talk and rumours building into breakers
Back to paint you redder
Back to paint you redder
Back to paint you redder
Forced to tower over, power, power a river

[VERSE]
Wave on alma mater
Come down on backs
Flash flood the halls
Blue skies won’t break all around you
They’ll stretch all ways
Those days saying, “We know where you are”

And a river’s on
Pouring out
Pouring out
Carrying your tyrants off
Laying waste to their lost and founds
As red as your knees are
Grazes laddered up your arms
You cast a wave to return and carry your storms out

[Chorus]
Back to paint you redder
Back to paint you redder
Back to paint you redder
Talk on top of talk and rumours building into breakers
Back to paint you redder
Back to paint you redder
Back to paint you redder
Forced to tower over, power, power a river

[VERSE]
Wave on alma mater
Come down on backs
Flash flood the halls
Blue skies won’t break all around you
They’ll stretch all ways
Those days saying, “We know where you are”

Wave on alma mater
Come down on backs
Flash flood the halls
Blue skies won’t break all around you
They’ll stretch all ways
Those days saying, “We know where you are”

(Call a roller, call a roll) on the way you were
(Call a roller, call a roller) a wave on her
(Call a roller, call a roll) on the way you were
(Call a roller, call a roller) a wave on her
(Call a roller, call a roll) on the way you were
(Call a roller, call a roller) a wave on her
