  • Woo

    The Sisyphean dreamer
    My fibula and femur
    Hold the weight of the world
    (Over and over)
    I think, therefore I die
    Anxiety and I rolling down a mountain
    (Over and over)

    My shoulder holds the weight of the world

    Yeah, the wind is blowing
    Volcano's blowing, my lungs are blowing
    (Over and over)
    Who could not win the mistress, wooed the maid
    With no sign of a grave
    (Over and over)
    (Over and over)

    Hollow body
    Wine belly perfidy
    Move like Isotta Fraschini
    (Over and over)
    The rock 'n' roller, the young and older
    Rolling back to the stroller
    (Over and over)

    And although you've warned me
    The gods have all scorned me now

    The wind is blowing
    Volcano's blowing, my lungs are blowing
    (Over and over)
    Who could not win the mistress, wooed the maid
    With no sign of a grave
    (Over and over)
    (Over and over)

    (Over and over)

    And I'm punished for the passion
    Only telling 'cause you're asking
    And am I gutting for the tasking?

    And the love is all drowning
    And they're never gonna find 'em
    'Cause the eagle's gonna blind 'em
    (Over and over)

    Yeah, my shoulder on the boulder
    Holds the weight of the world

    Yeah, yeah

    Oh, the wind is blowing
    Volcano's blowing, my lungs are blowing
    (Over and over)
    Who could not win the mistress, wooed the maid
    With no sign of a grave
    (Over and over)

    Woo

    My shoulder holds the weight of the world
    (Over and over)
    (Over and over)

    The Sisyphean dreamer
    My fibula and femur
    Hold the weight of the world
    (Over and over)
    I think, therefore I die
    Anxiety and I rolling down a mountain
    (Over and over)
    (Over and over)

    And although you've warned me
    The gods have all scorned me now Writer/s: John Anthony White
