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
