"Get To Know The Ropes"

I'm positive, Roy
That you're not the one
To look behind pillars of marble
A time to be killing 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 this time

In one grey wintertime
The ropes fall around you
A mountain of detail that I never talked about
Minor but nothing, no way

I'm positive, Roy
That you're not the one
To look behind pillars of marble
A time to be killing 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 this time

In one grey wintertime
The ropes fall around you
A mountain of detail that I never talk about
Minor but nothing, no way

In one grey winter
In one grey winter
It keeps you from walking away with the crowd
It keeps you from walking away with the crowd

(In one grey winter)
It keeps you from walking away with the crowd
(In one grey winter)
It keeps you from walking away with the crowd

It keeps you from walking away with the crowd
It keeps you from walking away with the crowd
It keeps you from walking away with the crowd
It keeps you from walking away with the crowd
